Crypto is about to get even bigger thanks to millennials
How the Boomer wealth transfer could reshape global finance. Born too late to ride the wave of postwar prosperity, but just early enough to watch the 2008 financial crisis decimate some of their first paychecks. Old enough to remember dial-up. Young enough to buy Bitcoin on their phones. They've lived through tech booms, housing busts, meme stocks, student debt, and five different definitions of 'retirement planning.' Now, as trillions in wealth begin to change hands, this generation stands to serve as a bridge between old capital and new code, traditional finance and the blockchain future. If handled wisely, this moment won't just shape the portfolios of younger investors—it could reshape the architecture of global finance itself. The $46 Trillion Handoff Roughly $124 trillion in wealth is expected to pass from baby boomers to younger generations by 2048, with millennials set to inherit the largest share: approximately $46 trillion over the next two decades. While Gen X is expected to inherit slightly more than millennials in the next 10 years, by the 2040s, millennials will take over as the dominant inheritors—and primary stewards of global capital. This isn't just a generational milestone. It's a once-in-history opportunity to redefine how capital is allocated, what assets are prioritized, and what financial frameworks endure. Millennials aren't inheriting a set playbook—they're writing a new one. Digital Assets Have Grown Up The timing couldn't be more significant. After years of growing pains, the digital asset space is undergoing a profound transformation. Following the collapse of FTX in 2022, the ecosystem began maturing rapidly. By 2024, a major inflection point arrived: The Securities and Exchange Commission approved the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking a formal bridge between traditional finance and crypto. The ETFs shattered records —underscoring just how much pent-up demand existed among retail investors, registered investment advisers (RIAs), and institutions that had previously been locked out of the asset class. So far, nearly $41 billion has flowed into these products, a staggering figure for any ETF, let alone one tied to an asset recently dismissed as fringe. Additionally, North America's crypto market is now dominated by large transfers over $1 million—about 70% of transaction volume —reflecting deep institutional involvement. And it's not just about ETFs. Major institutions are integrating crypto into their offerings in tangible ways: Mastercard and Visa are experimenting with stablecoin settlements. Lyft is leveraging Hivemapper for road data. AT&T is offloading traffic onto the Helium network. This isn't the Wild West anymore. Regulation is clarifying. Infrastructure is stabilizing. And serious capital is arriving. The Bridge Generation So, which generation is most naturally situated to carry digital assets into the financial mainstream? Not Gen Z (at least, not yet). While 42% of these young investors own cryptocurrency, only 11% have a retirement account, indicating a preference for immediate, high-risk investments over long-term financial planning. Not boomers, either, who have largely opted out—just 8% hold digital assets, while 64% have more traditional retirement accounts. Millennials, however, are fluent in both financial worlds. They're almost equally likely to invest in crypto as they are in retirement accounts —36% own cryptocurrency, and 34% have retirement plans. They understand ETFs and decentralized finance, spreadsheets and stablecoins. They grew up with the internet and came of age during the 2008 crisis. They're old enough to remember the dot-com bust, young enough to see blockchain's promise. In short: Millennials have a tech-native mindset and a healthy respect for risk. That balance matters. Surveys show that millennials are more comfortable investing in crypto than any older cohort. In fact, 62% of millennial ETF investors say they plan to allocate to crypto ETFs, making it the No. 1 asset class for that age group. And they're not just speculating— 12% believe crypto is the best place to invest for long-term goals, compared to just 5% of boomers. This makes millennials uniquely qualified to shepherd digital assets out of their adolescence and into legitimacy. Market-Wide Impact As nearly $85 trillion moves into the hands of Gen X and millennials combined, every asset manager, RIA, and financial institution will be forced to adapt. Catering to these investors won't just mean better digital UX or TikTok explainers. It'll mean rethinking allocations, product offerings, and frameworks that may have, until recently, assumed digital assets are fringe. They are not. Not anymore. The generation that straddled Web2 and Web3 is about to call the shots. They speak the language of blockchain and the cadence of capital markets. That dual fluency will define the next phase of global investing—and determine whether crypto becomes a credible pillar of the financial system or stalls as a misunderstood asset class, never realizing its broader potential. The opportunity isn't in betting on crypto. It's in building the institutions, tools, and strategies for a world where digital assets are simply part of the portfolio.

Why ASIC Owes Jamie McIntyre and His Investors Far More Than $5.81 Million
Why ASIC Owes Jamie McIntyre and His Investors Far More Than $5.81 Million In what could become one of the most controversial and politically explosive financial scandals in recent Australian history, questions are intensifying around the conduct of government agencies such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and whether they owe not only Jamie McIntyre a refund of $5.81 million-but also potentially hundreds of millions in compensation to him and his investors. The heart of the issue lies not just in financial mismanagement or regulatory overreach, but in what appears to be an orchestrated abuse of judicial and government power. McIntyre-entrepreneur, early Bitcoin investor, founder of independent media outlet Australian National Review ( and political activist-has long claimed that he and his business ventures were unfairly targeted due to his outspoken opposition to government corruption, his efforts to disrupt the political status quo, and his exposure of corporate and pharmaceutical fraud. The Origins of the Attack Jamie McIntyre rose to prominence in the early 2000s for his work in financial education and wealth creation. By 2013, his ambitions expanded into the political and media arenas with the launch of the political party 21st Century Australia and the news platform Australian National Review. The media outlet quickly became a voice for independent thinkers, political dissidents, and health freedom advocates, challenging mainstream narratives and providing platforms for whistleblowers. His biggest 'crime,' many argue, was telling his readers to buy Bitcoin when it was just $75-years ahead of the financial mainstream. He was one of Australia's earliest and most vocal crypto advocates. The success of that advice alone created thousands of new millionaires and financially independent readers, something that did not sit well with traditional banking and political interests. What followed was an intense and persistent campaign against McIntyre-culminating in ASIC actions, media smears, court proceedings, and asset freezes. He and his supporters argue that the legal actions were not driven by legitimate regulatory concerns, but rather by political retaliation. Abuse of Power and Judicial Manipulation The central allegation is that ASIC and other agencies knowingly misled Supreme Court judges by presenting distorted, incomplete, or outright false information-causing significant financial losses to McIntyre and his investors, which are now estimated to be as high as $250 million. Using taxpayer-funded resources, regulators allegedly abused the legal system to shut down McIntyre's ventures, freeze his assets, and destroy investor confidence. For many, this was not regulation-it was weaponized bureaucracy designed to silence a dissident. Critics argue that ASIC and its allies pursued McIntyre with more aggression than they ever applied to the executives of collapsed banks or corporations whose failures harmed hundreds of thousands of Australians. Meanwhile, the damage to McIntyre's companies, personal reputation, and investor capital went largely unacknowledged. A Call for Justice and Accountability Now, with mounting pressure and emerging documentation of judicial misconduct and regulatory overreach, calls are growing for a Royal Commission into ASIC's actions-not just in McIntyre's case, but in a broader context of how independent entrepreneurs and media voices are treated in Australia. While the return of $5.81 million-ordered or negotiated through the courts-is a start, it does little to address the massive real-world losses incurred by McIntyre and his investor base. Compensation, some argue, should be calculated not only on direct losses, but on opportunity cost, damage to business continuity, reputation, and the suppression of one of Australia's first truly independent media platforms. Silencing Political Dissent This case is not just about money. It is about freedom of speech, political persecution, and whether Australia is still a nation where independent thought is protected-or punished. McIntyre's exposure of the vaccine industry, his political aspirations, and his refusal to be silenced by institutional power made him a target. But in doing so, he also became a symbol for thousands of Australians who feel equally bullied, censored, or financially devastated by regulatory overreach. Final Thoughts If Australia is to maintain its reputation as a fair and democratic society, it must take seriously allegations of regulatory abuse. Compensation to McIntyre and his investors is not just justified-it is necessary to restore public trust and to send a clear message: that the political persecution of entrepreneurs and independent media voices will not be tolerated in a free society. This is more than a personal battle. It is a national reckoning with the unchecked power of unelected bureaucrats who, for too long, have operated with impunity.
