Among other things, the research found that 59% of Canadians are now aware of crypto assets, and 25% of respondents actually own some crypto. Moreover, investors are increasingly talking about crypto with their advisors. “[I]nvestors with financial advisors are now more likely than before to cover crypto in their discussions,” the OSC noted in its report on the results. Alongside the growing interest in crypto as a portfolio position, the survey also found that investors are growing more confident that crypto will play a key role in the future of finance, the survey noted. The regulator suggested that the growing role for advisors in shaping investors’ crypto exposure represents an opportunity to improve investors’ understanding of the fledgling asset class.
