币界网报道：Nearly 18 months after the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S., financial advisors remain cautious about crypto adoption, according to Hashdex's global market insights head Gerry O'Shea. While a small subset actively recommends crypto allocations, most advisors are still in the education phase, with questions shifting from basic blockchain understanding to portfolio integration strategies. Key concerns include Bitcoin's volatility (with frequent 20%+ swings), its energy usage (though perceptions of proof-of-work are improving), and lingering associations with illicit activities. O'Shea notes generational divides in skepticism, with older advisors more resistant. Looking ahead to 2025, he highlights Bitcoin and stablecoins as core themes, with Ethereum and Solana gaining relevance as stablecoin infrastructure. Despite current hesitancy, O'Shea predicts growing advisor recognition of crypto's ecosystem maturity and long-term portfolio benefits by year-end.
