Bloomberg’s forecast for November describes 2021 as another key year for the cryptocurrency market, further highlighting the long-term value proposition of digital assets. In this environment, wealth managers risk being left behind and inferior to their crypto-holders, McGlone wrote, adding:

Although the cryptocurrency exhibits much higher volatility than traditional investments, selling assets such as Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) appears to be “attracting responsive buyers, most of whom face the prospect of being late while avoiding crypto distribution.”

Many asset managers have warned that the 60-40 traditional portfolio is no longer enough in today’s market.

In their opinion, the “professional risk” of investing in cryptocurrency has decreased significantly. The most recent dominoes, according to Edward Hindi, the criteria for trust can be:
“Now that guardianship and regulatory barriers are gradually eroding, the broader use of cryptocurrencies by financial advisors may still be hampered by the notion that ‘trust standards’ remain an issue for the overt protection of asset class inclusion in clients’ portfolios.”
