Recently, a survey was released by <a href="https://x.com/BitwiseInvest/status/2011077986171191653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2011077986171191653%7Ctwgr%5E26359f194b165c0a3d6c3a6b3823f5e27e1ee445%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcryptonews.com%2Fnews%2Fcrypto-advisor-allocations-hit-32-pct-up-22-pct-bitwise-vettafi-survey%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitwise</a> and VettaFi which revealed that 32% of financial advisors allotted to crypto in client accounts in the last year, up from 22% in 2024. With this, a milestone of an all-time high of the series was set up.&nbsp;
This leap can be attributed to a headline year for virtual assets, and the report also highlighted the milestone achieved by Bitcoin, marking an all-time high in 2025, with the $126k mark, and a quick advancement of US rules, adding the GENIUS Act that shifted stablecoins further into the mainstream.&nbsp;
299 eligible responses were recorded by Bitwise and VettaFi, having outreach stretching from October 31 to December 8 of the last year over advisor types extending from registered investment advisors to wirehouse representatives and broker-dealer representatives.&nbsp;
The demand of the client was steady, and advisors sensed it. The survey revealed that 94% of advisors got a question regarding crypto from clients in 2025, and 56% noted owning crypto in their personal portfolios, another record for the datasets.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-allocation-rates">The Allocation Rates</h3>
Allocation rates were not the same over the channel. Registered investment advisors (RIAs) were leading with 42%, noting that they assign crypto in client accounts after the wirehouse representatives at 35%, and the report also noted 33% for other financial professionals. Also, 25% was allotted to independent broker-dealer representatives and 18% for financial planners.&nbsp;
Moving forward, the upcoming wave may come from advisers who resided on the sidelines. Among those who did not allot to crypto in client accounts, 18% mentioned that they surely or probably plan to add exposure in 2026, and another 38% revealed they are thinking about it.&nbsp; Among advisors so far allotting, 99% plan to maintain or surge exposure.&nbsp;
Product preference is moving forward with familiar wrappers. Once again crypto equity <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitwise-files-for-11-altcoin-etfs-as-crypto-etf-momentum-grows/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETFs </a>become the favourite choice for advisors in 2026, and the choices position spot crypto ETFs at 16%, diversified crypto index funds at 14%, multistrategy solutions at 13%, and income-accumulating strategies at 9%.&nbsp;
