CoinShares Survey Finds 52% of UK Wealth Advisors' Clients Hold Crypto Assets Outside Management, on June 25

According to a CoinShares survey of 261 European wealth management professionals conducted on June 25, 52% of UK advisors reported that over half their clients' digital assets remain outside their management, compared to about one-quarter across Europe overall. CoinShares termed this phenomenon a "management gap," referring to holdings on personal exchange accounts or self-custodial platforms.

The report found that 61% of surveyed advisors work at institutions with restrictive or unclear policies on digital assets. At such restricted institutions, active crypto asset recommendations occur only 1% of the time, with a management gap of 34%, whereas at supportive institutions the gap falls to just 4%.
