Gen Z Crypto Millionaires and Investment Migration

While headlines chronicle Gen Z’s anxieties — born amid 9/11’s aftermath, raised through the Great Recession, graduating into Covid-19’s chaos, and entering a workforce threatened by AI — a counter-narrative emerges from crypto’s frontier. A growing swathe of Gen Z is gaining wealth through digital assets, with 42% of the segment investing in cryptocurrency. In fact, Gen Z investors are four times more likely to own crypto than retirement accounts. The majority of Gen Z surveyed believe that they’ll become crypto millionaires, and thousands of digital natives in their early twenties have already amassed seven- and eight-figure fortunes through cryptocurrency, NFTs, and DeFi protocols. These young millionaires cluster in residence and citizenship by investment destinations such as Dubai, Singapore, and various Caribbean havens that welcome crypto wealth with open arms and favorable tax regime.

Crypto Wealth Meets Citizenship by Investment

Cryptocurrency has given rise to a new class of high-net-worth individuals who are financially independent and philosophically aligned with the ideals of self-sovereignty. They seek optionality: mobility, asset diversification, and engagement with the global economy on their own terms. As of 30 June 2025, over 241, 700 individuals world wide hold at least USD 1 million in crypto assets, up from 172,000 last year. Overall, global crypto ownership has surpassed 590 million people, and a survey of financial advisors indicates their client interest in crypto has risen strongly and advisors intend to increase allocation.     This new, mobility-driven class of investors is increasingly turning to citizenship by investment programs as a strategic route to geographic and financial flexibility. Crypto’s borderless structure makes it a practical financial instrument for such strategies, provided it aligns with regulatory and institutional standards. In 2025, this alignment is emerging alongside digital assets’ maturation and widespread adoption. Cryptocurrency…

Wealth vs GDP: A Nuanced Economic Measure

Understanding the true financial health of an economy requires a more nuanced approach than simply examining GDP figures. GDP is often used as a standard measure of economic performance, but it does not fully capture the dynamics of wealth creation and accumulation or the financial health of an economy. Private wealth provides a far more accurate reflection of economic strength, taking into account asset ownership, investment flows, and the movement of high-net-worth individuals. Unlike GDP, which can be distorted by government spending and other factors, private wealth offers a clearer picture of financial stability and prosperity. Why wealth? We consider wealth to be a far better measure of the financial health of an economy than GDP. The reasons for this include: In many countries, a large portion of GDP flows to government and therefore has little to no impact on private wealth creation. GDP counts items multiple times. For instance,…

2024: A Watershed Year for Digital Assets

By Jean-Marie Mognetti,   The year 2024 is poised to be a landmark year for the cryptocurrency industry. With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granting approval for Spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), the institutionalization of the asset class has reached a pivotal milestone. This approval is not just a regulatory endorsement; it signifies the maturation of Bitcoin as a legitimate investment vehicle, suitable for inclusion in the portfolios of traditional investors. This move by the SEC is expected to usher in a new era of mainstream acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies into the global financial system. During the early phases, Bitcoin was not yet recognized as a distinct financial asset. The ecosystem lacked essential infrastructure — there were no custody solutions, regulated exchanges, or trading platforms, and the banking sector largely refused to engage with Bitcoin businesses. The absence of public companies in the cryptocurrency sector further highlighted…
