The Wealth Transfer and Gen Z's Investment Choices
Gen Z is poised to inherit an unprecedented $84 trillion in assets, prompting a reconsideration of traditional investing methods. This generation is increasingly skeptical of conventional financial practices, with only 11% having retirement accounts, while 42% own cryptocurrencies. Their reluctance to engage with traditional financial advisors and institutions reflects a desire for autonomy in their financial decisions. By shifting a portion of their inherited wealth into Bitcoin, Gen Z could create a significant impact on the asset's value due to its fixed supply, potentially driving prices to unprecedented levels.
