Sponsor Insights: You're Getting Questions About Crypto From Clients - Do You Have the Answers?

Ric Edelman, chairman, and co-founder of Edelman Financial Services, a registered investment advisor with $22 billion in assets under management told CNBC:

“I’m bullish on it because Bitcoin is now ten years old. It’s a $200 billion market in crypto total, Bitcoin is about 40% of that. Clearly, it’s here to stay. Financial advisors, I’m discovering, really don’t know much about it, no more than their clients do. Advisors can’t effectively give advice to their clients that their clients need.”

And it’s understandable why advisors aren’t recommending crypto with the present regulatory uncertainty. At some point, that’ll change. And the smart financial advisors will have a head start on their competitors.

But with the amount of information online, where can you go to get the right knowledge so you’re able to help your clients when the time comes?
