    What we are seeing now in the markets and in crypto needs to happen. It is no surprise that bitcoin is weathering the storms in its way. The cryptocurrency was created to be an alternative currency, and it's doing just that – providing stability during times of economic chaos, withstanding everything from pandemic to worries over supply chain interruptions and market volatility. This is what everyone asked for: a bitcoin track record. “On Purpose” host Tyrone Ross provides his “two satoshis” on the current market climate, the uproar over Coinbase's disclosure report, stablecoins, NFTs and a set of data points after visiting the 2022 Tiburon CEO Summit Conference in New York. There is $12 trillion in self-directed investment that is vulnerable, and Fidelity and Schwab each have four of them. Yet venture capital as a whole does not seem to take the opportunity that its power can reach – that GenX has locked up for themselves! A MASSIVE chance exists where there could be wealth management services offered to those who were born between 1965 - 1985: They will save more, inherit more and invest more than baby boomers and millennials combined; yes you read correctly! And this would create an excellent moment if done right.Who doesn't love a good challenge? Tyrone is offering up his listeners some tough choices in this week's podcast.

    “Crypto in and of itself represents access. It represents freedom. It represents inclusion and digital social justice.”“On Purpose” host Tyrone Ross returns from a Thanksgiving holiday to provide an introduction to the macro landscape in the Registered Advisor (RA) industry. As the emerging crypto industry continues to increase its relevance to clients, advisers need to be up to date on topics such as decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), the metaverse, Web 3, decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFT).One emerging technology in particular has the potential to transform the entire RA industry. DAOs present a new opportunity for groups to come together and exercise their combined power for the global good. Ross emphasizes that advisers who start learning now will be ready to embrace “an industry that is going to rush in new ideas, creativity, wealth generation, financial inclusion, diversity and inclusion.”This episode has been produced, announced and edited by Michele Musso with additional production support from Eleanor Pahl.

    “The future of wealth management is a non-custodial plus discretion relationship.”Host of “On Purpose” Tyrone Ross recaps his lessons learned from spending the past few weeks travelling and speaking with bank executives, RIAs, broker dealers and financial advisers across the country.Those who are already sold on crypto will resonate with Ross' sentiment that many of the largest institutions are reluctant to embrace crypto in any capacity. Regardless of their reluctance, clients will search for and invest in products with asymmetric returns. Clients will have a portfolio of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), they will be staking at Coinbase and they will have a MetaMask wallet.Even if the clients are self-custodying crypto assets such as these, they will still search for advice on what to do with their wealth. Recognizing this future and preparing for it is the best an adviser can do for themselves and their firm.This episode has been produced, announced and edited by Michele Musso with additional production support from Eleanor Pahl.

In this volatile bitcoin age, it has become crucial for advisers to nurture their expertise in bitcoin investment.As a financial analyst and seasoned consultant within the cryptocurrency world, Cook has made a name for herself by proactively building a Twitter community with the most successful and dynamic leaders in the industry. She starts by providing essential education and even defining key terms that many newbies to the industry overlook, such as “What is a blockchain?” and “What is an NFT?” Just as within any industry, knowledge and pedagogy as well as building from the basics is imperative to understanding the complexities of cryptocurrency and for successful investing.Adviser skepticism about cryptocurrency is natural. “I think it is basic human nature to be skeptical about things we don’t understand, to reject new things … and we don’t like change,” says Cook. It is extremely important that financial advisers stay up to date with current information but it is also important to be open to all opinions as there is no “one size fits all.” Advisers must tailor their expertise to help clients best invest for what they need.Cooks’ strategy is to “keep it simple.'' “There is so much to learn in crypto and a vast amount of information to absorb that much of the content is overlooked,” she says.Listen.

    We’ve all heard of bitcoin, but what is it really? For independent, registered investment advisors like ‘On Purpose’ host Tyrone Ross it’s … complicated. Since bitcoin isn’t considered an “investment” in the eyes of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it’s different from what most investing professionals know. With the SEC differentiating “Digital asset securities” from less-regulated “digital assets,” what’s an advisor to do? According to Tyrone, “As far as crypto goes and advisors being fiduciaries, that is a whole different realm.”On Feb. 26, 2021, the SEC’s Division of Examinations (Division) issued a Risk Alert noting that “Digital Asset Securities” (i.e., assets issued and/or transferred using distributed ledger or blockchain technology, including, e.g., “virtual currencies,” “coins” and “tokens”) and other digital assets entail characteristics and risks that must be considered in designing a regulatory compliance program.In this episode of “On Purpose, With Tyrone Ross,” Bryan Courchesne, managing director at Digital Asset Investment Management, and Max Schatzow, counsel at Stark & Stark to registered investment advisors (RIAs), broker-dealers (BDs) and alternative funds, discuss the landscape of compliance for investment advisors concerning RAs and bitcoin.A message from Tyrone:The greatest number of people living in poverty are children.
