On today's podcast, we look at bitcoin's 70% YTD gain and what that suggests for 2024. While some continue to voice skepticism, 425 million people globally today own digital assets. More than ever, financial advisors need to recognize the growing adoption of this new asset class, especially considering that over half of Gen Z is already invested.

Major financial institutions - including BlackRock, JP Morgan, and Citigroup - are actively engaged. And it’s easy to see why, with the market for tokenized assets projected to hit $16T by 2030. Clearly, the financial services industry is about to experience a transformative change. How are global regulations evolving, and where does the U.S. stand in this crypto race? Tune in for the latest insights.
