Galaxy Digital's Zac Prince says $83 trillion in Baby Boomer wealth transferring to younger generations over the next two decades could drive massive crypto adoption, with 45% of younger US investors already holding digital assets.
Galaxy Digital’s Zac Prince says demographic shifts and wealth transfers could funnel massive capital into crypto markets over the next two decades as younger generations inherit from Baby Boomers.
Massive Wealth Transfer Looms
UBS Global Wealth Report data reveals $83 trillion will transfer between generations over the next 20-25 years, with $9 trillion moving between spouses and $74 trillion passing to heirs.
“We think that that audience has some, you know, unique needs that aren’t well suited by the Robin Hoods and Coinbases of the world,” Prince stated, highlighting white-glove customer service and curated product offerings as key differentiators.
Retail Sentiment Diverges From Institutions
While Prince acknowledged bearish retail sentiment at year-end 2024, with Bitcoin down roughly 10% despite strong performance from gold, silver, and stocks, he sees this as potentially bullish.
Meanwhile, institutional adoption has accelerated, with Morgan Stanley launching Bitcoin ETFs and traditional financial platforms expanding crypto access.
Young Investors Drive Adoption
Coinbase research found that 45% of younger US investors already own crypto, compared to just 18% of older generations, with younger cohorts allocating 25% of their portfolios to non-traditional assets (triple the 8% allocation among older investors).
Four in five younger adults believe crypto will play a significantly larger role in future financial systems.
South Korean data mirrors these trends, with over half of citizens aged 20-59 having crypto trading experience and 27% currently holding digital assets.
Looking forward, Prince concluded that “stablecoin adoption continues to increase rapidly” and that it might facilitate the largest wealth transfer in history, intersecting with a generation already committed to digital assets.
