Crypto is invisible to UK wealth advisers.

A CoinShares survey of 261 European wealth managers found that 52% of UK advisers cannot see the majority of their clients' crypto holdings. The capital is already allocated — but the people managing it have no oversight.

CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti put it bluntly: clients aren't hiding assets out of secrecy. They simply invest through platforms their advisers don't monitor. This is a massive compliance blind spot for the traditional wealth management industry.

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority estimates 8% of adults hold digital assets. But if half of professional advisers can't track where those assets sit, regulatory frameworks are flying blind. The Bank of England recently eased stablecoin rules with a 40 billion pound issuance cap — yet the visibility gap between advisers and clients keeps widening.

This isn't a crypto problem. It's a wealth management infrastructure problem. Traditional portfolio tools were built for stocks, bonds, and funds — not self-custodied wallets and DeFi positions. Unless advisory platforms integrate onchain tracking, the gap will only grow as crypto adoption climbs.

Will UK regulators force advisers to gain crypto visibility, or will clients keep their holdings off the radar? 👇
