Asset-management firm Grayscale Investments and fintech platform iCapital Network have entered into a partnership to simplify access to digital assets for investment advisers.<\/p>\n

According to the press release<\/a>, iCapital employs 6,700 professionals servicing high-net-worth clients.<\/p>\n

The collaboration is expected to combine the platform’s capabilities in education, technology and investment management with Grayscale’s expertise in digital assets.<\/p>\n

iCapital’s clients and advisers will gain access to Grayscale’s investment strategies, the company said.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAdvisers and their clients have expressed a growing appetite for potentially uncorrelated returns in their portfolios, and digital assets are now at the centre of discussion,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 said iCapital CEO Lawrence Calcano.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to a Grayscale and InvestmentNews Financial Advisor survey, 61% of advisers sought information about cryptocurrencies at clients’ initiative. Seventy-nine percent of advisers planned to recommend increasing investments in digital assets over the next 12 months if their firm recommended it.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn a world with trillions of dollars in fiscal stimulus and negative real interest rates, the asset-management industry for affluent clients recognises the benefits of diversification and inflation hedging that digital currencies can offer in an investment portfolio,\u201d commented Grayscale COO Hugh Ross.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As of September 10, assets under management across the company’s cryptocurrency funds total $42.3 billion, with the overwhelming majority\u2014$29.8 billion\u2014allocated to the Bitcoin Trust.<\/p>\n
