More than half of American financial advisors plan to increase investments in cryptocurrencies following the former President’s electoral victory.
A recent survey conducted by Bitwise and VettaFi reveals growing optimism in the digital asset sector among US financial advisors after Donald Trump‘s victory in last November’s presidential election.
The study, which involved 430 financial advisors, shows that 56% of respondents are more likely to invest in digital assets throughout 2025. The survey also found that 22% of them allocated cryptocurrencies in client portfolios in 2024, a significant increase from 11% in 2023. Expectations are linked to the possibility that Trump could create a more favorable environment for the crypto sector. Some even speculate that the elected President could issue an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve from his first day in office.
Survey data highlights growing interest in cryptocurrencies: 99% of advisors already active in the sector plan to maintain or increase their exposure, while 71% report that their clients are already investing independently in the world of digital assets.
In terms of investment methods, 71% of advisors chose a spot ETF as a way to invest in cryptocurrencies.
Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, commented:
“Advisers are awakening to crypto’s potential like never before and allocating like never before.”
However, some barriers to adoption remain: only 35% of advisors currently have the ability to purchase a spot crypto ETF in client accounts.
