Financial advisors in the US control $8 trillion in assets. Here's why 77% are waiting for spot Bitcoin ETFs.According to surveys of financial advisors, only 12% are currently recommending that clients invest in Bitcoin, while 47% of advisors personally own Bitcoin and a whopping 77% say they are waiting for a spot Bitcoin ETF to become available so they can offer it to their clients. On this episode of Unchained, Ric Edelman, founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals and author of “The Truth About Crypto,” explains how this should all lead to high demand once the first spot Bitcoin ETFs become available, although it will take some time for them to allocate. Edelman also discusses how FTX's implosion impacted advisor perceptions of crypto, why investors have not been that excited by crypto futures ETFs, and which Bitcoin ETF issuers he believes are likely to be the big winners.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Show highlights | How regulatory confusion keeps financial advisors away from recommending Bitcoin to their clientsHow the collapse of FTX affected financial advisors' interest in crypto, according to RicHow the knowledge level of financial advisors about Bitcoin is "extraordinarily low"Why 77% of investment advisors are willing to buy a spot Bitcoin ETFWhy there wasn't a huge interest from advisors after the launch of Bitcoin futures ETFsThe percentage of client portfolios that he expects they will allocate to BTCWhy Ric thinks there won't be huge inflows immediately after the approval of spot BTC ETFsHow financial advisors will decide whose ETF to buy, among the 12 potential issuersWhy he believes spot Ethereum ETFs have great growth potentialWhy he thinks tokenization might be the "next big thing" that will increase institutional activityTake the Unchained 2023 survey!Unchained is doing its annual survey.

In this episode, we explore BlackRock's intriguing move towards launching a Spot bitcoin ETF. As the world's largest money manager, BlackRock's decision has raised eyebrows and sparked conversations across the financial sector. Larry Fink, BlackRock's CEO, believes in Bitcoin's potential to revolutionize the financial system, even suggesting it as a more robust hedge against inflation than goldAn internal paper from BlackRock suggests a staggering 85% portfolio allocation to Bitcoin, a figure that challenges traditional investment strategies. While this number may seem audacious, it underscores the growing importance and acceptance of digital assets in today's investment landscape. Alongside this, we also touch on the upcoming webinar on October 24th, shedding light on the resurgence of bonds in the current high-interest-rate environment.Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ricRic's Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Ric-Edelman/author/B000APYJPM-----Links from today's show:Capturing Yields in a High-Rate Environment with Bond ETFs (Free Webinar - October 24 - Register HERE): https://dacfp.com/capturing-yields-in-a-high-rate-environment-with-bond-etfs/Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals: https://dacfp.com/Get Certified in Blockchain and Digital Assets: https://dacfp.com/certificatIon/Follow Ric on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RicEdelmanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ric_edelman/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricedelman/X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/ricedelman YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RicEdelmanBrought to you by:Global X ETFs: https://www.globalxetfs.com/Invesco QQQ: https://www.invesco.com/qqq-etf/en/home.htmlPrisidio: https://www.prisid.io/Schwab: https://www.schwab.com/Disclosure page: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/sponsorship-disclosure-fee-----

CNBC's Bob Pisani spoke with Ric Edelman, Founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals (DACF) – along with Holly Framsted, Director of ETFs at Capital Group. With geopolitical turmoil shaking up the global markets, they discussed the broader macro backdrop for ETFs and broke down the market reaction thus far. They also got an update on active ETFs, which are seeing more than their fair share of inflows this year. Plus, the crypto bulls may have cheered the launch of several ether futures ETFs last week – but so far, those ETFs have seen lackluster flows. Could it be a sign of wavering interest in the crypto space? In the “Markets 102” portion, Bob continued the conversation with Ric Edelman from the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals.

Ric Edelman is the founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals, an organization dedicated to giving financial professionals the ability to establish expertise in blockchain technology and digital assets.

CNBC's Bob Pisani spoke with Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise Investments – along with Ric Edelman, founder of Edelman Financial Services as well as the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals from the Future Proof Conference in Huntington Beach, California. They dove into the crypto craze – including challenges facing the crypto community this summer, what could drive a possible crypto comeback and whether there is any hope for approval of a spot bitcoin ETF in light of recent SEC scrutiny. In the Markets ‘102' portion of the podcast, Bob continues the conversation with Ric Edelman.

Welcome back. This week I talk about Digital Assets and the Fed Meeting yesterday. The show was recorded Monday so that you can hear my predictions. Spoiler alert, I didn't do too bad. Last week I attended the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals (DACFP) this April. I completed their certification course, and this week I finished the Certified Digital Asset Advisor™ (CDAA™). DACFP is headed up by Ric Edelman, which, if you have a 401K plan through Fidelity, you may be familiar with since his old firm Ric Edelman Financial Engines, helps manage many 401ks. I have a similar offering, but it is not nearly as large of an operation. On the plus side, it is a more personalized approach. So, Digital Assets (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) have been in the press a lot in the last month. In the Digital space, they call it a Crypto Winter. In the stock market, it is like a Bear Market. So, we heard from everyone from, Advisors to Money Managers to Miners. The correction in Digital Assets, like any other asset, is healthy, but that does not mean pain-free. The best analogy I heard was it is like a Root Canal. Once it is over, you feel better and are in a better place, but nobody is hoping for one. There is a lot of concern about safety and scams, and rightfully so. Most people have heard of FOMO (Fear of missing out), while with Digital Assets, many people are YOYO (You are on your own). As the industry matures, there will be more regulation, but when you have a decentralized asset, that means YOYO. Some people that are old enough may remember Bearer Bonds, where you clip an interest coupon and go to the bank to get your interest. Just like those days with Digital Assets, if you are doing this without help, you hold all the passwords and if they are lost, so are your assets. If someone gets those passwords, they can take your assets. Hopefully, by July, I will be able to assist people looking to invest in Digital Assets. On to the Federal Reserve and the Markets. The confusion seems to be the order of the day. The Fed has seemed to be behind interest rates for several months, trying to raise interest rates to tame inflation. A few weeks ago, the prediction was a 75 bp move backtracked to 50 bp. In my opinion, putting them in the wrong place. If they raise by 75bp as people think they should, then it would seem like things are worse than just two weeks ago when they said 50bp, down from 75bp at the last meeting. If they do 50 bp and it doesn't help, the Fed will blame them for being too conservative. *(What happened – edited in) The Fed raised 75bp, and the market initially reacted favorably. However, overnight everyone got to worrying, and things sold off at the open. With a few minutes to go in the day, the S&P 500 is off over 3.25% for the day. The good news is that people saving for retirement are constantly Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). Over time as the price rises and falls, you continue to buy shares. Sometimes at a higher and sometimes at a lower price. Over time using DCA, you tend to own more shares, which is a good thing, provided the market eventually hits a new high, as it has every time it has declined in the past. Maybe this time it will be different. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a long time to recover.

Ric Edelman shares his history in the financial industry as the founder of Edelman Financial Engines, and as founder of DACFP, the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals, which he founded more recently to address the growing needs advisors have to level up their awareness and knowledge of the transformational 'Crypto' asset class.In our conversation, Mr. Edelman provides an excellent overview and understanding of the most important components of the cryptocurrency and blockchain space.He warns advisors to not be caught on the back foot when they are advising clients on whether or not e.g. Bitcoin is an asset they should or should not consider adding to their portfolios. Currently 17% of all Americans own some bitcoin, and it's popularity has taken on wide network effects during the run-up of the last two year. It's expected that 20 million Americans will invest in digital assets in the near future. 78% of U.S. investors say digital assets are appealing. 82% of clients expect their financial advisors to be knowledgeable about bitcoin."It's no longer an asset you can wave off as a fad," explains Edelman. "If you're going to provide any kind of advice on anything 'crypto' you had better make sure you have acquired the required knowledge to do so.""It is real. It is here to stay, and it is one of the most profound and transformational innovations that will shape the world," says Edelman. "You have a fiduciary responsibility to your clients to become an expert on this subject. It will also set you apart competitively from all other advisors who perilously continue to wave it off as irrelevant or unimportant."If you've been asked, for example, what Blockchain, Bitcoin or Ethereum are, and found you weren't having much success sticking the landing, here in our conversation, Ric Edelman shares some of his most successful anecdotes and analogies that will help you to provide a significantly better understanding to your clients, and everyone else you talk to.We also get into a wide ranging and deeper discussion on the scalability and implementation of real-world commercial use cases, valuation and the origins of Bitcoin and Ethereum valuations.*****The DACFP was conceived in 2018 by Ric Edelman, one of the top thought leaders in the financial services industry, and is an independent, educational organization, with a most impressive faculty of instructors, providing advisors with a 13-Credit Course Certificate in Blockchain and Digital Assets (designed for financial advisors).
