Family offices shun crypto despite hype, with 89% holding no digital assets: JPMorgan Private Bank
Summary
JPMorgan Private Bank’s 2026 Global Family Office Report indicates that the vast majority of global family offices remain on the sidelines regarding cryptocurrency, with 89% holding no digital assets. This reluctance persists despite geopolitical risks, as 72% of these offices also hold no gold. The report suggests this reflects an ongoing internal debate about the role and appropriate allocation size for volatile digital assets. Looking forward, only 17% of wealthy families plan to prioritize crypto investments, significantly less than the 65% prioritizing Artificial Intelligence (AI). On average, family offices allocate about 75% of assets to public equities and alternatives, with U.S. large-cap equities being dominant in public holdings. The report surveyed 333 family offices across 30 countries, with an average net worth of $1.6 billion.
