[Half of UK Wealth Advisors Say Clients' Crypto Assets Are Mostly Outside Regulatory Oversight, Mainly Due to Institutional Policy Restrictions] According to The Block, a CoinShares survey of 261 European wealth management practitioners found that 52% of UK advisors reported that more than half of their clients' digital assets are not under their management, compared to about one-quarter across Europe as a whole. CoinShares refers to this portion as the 'management gap,' which includes holdings in clients' personal exchange accounts or self-custody platforms. The report noted that 61% of advisors surveyed work at institutions that either restrict or lack clear policies on digital assets, resulting in a proactive recommendation rate of only 1% in 'restricted institutions,' with a management gap of 34%, compared to just 4% in 'supportive institutions.' Respondents believe that integrating crypto assets into mainstream asset classes (45%) and offering crypto ETPs (43%) are key structural conditions for narrowing the gap.
