$SOL 📊 What Is This $100 Trillion Wealth Transfer?
Financial experts are talking about an unprecedented transfer of wealth — roughly $100 trillion over the next ~20 years — from older generations (like Baby Boomers and Gen X) to younger generations (Millennials and Gen Z). This transfer comes mainly from inheritance and intergenerational assets such as stocks, property, and savings. �

🚀 Why It Matters for Crypto
Younger investors today hold much more crypto than older investors. In the U.S., surveys show that around 45 % of younger people own cryptocurrencies, while only about 18 % of older investors do. �

Younger generations also allocate more of their portfolios to digital assets — often significantly more than traditional stocks or bonds. �

Analysts like Alex Svanevik (Nansen co-founder) describe this shift as a “tidal wave” of new capital entering crypto markets once younger investors inherit wealth. This could potentially double the size of the current crypto market cap, which is much smaller (around a few trillion dollars) today. �

🌍 Broader Trends Supporting This Shift
Studies show younger investors globally are more open to alternative assets and cryptocurrencies, not just traditional investments. �

In some regions, a large percentage of high-net-worth young people already hold crypto and plan to increase exposure. �

Institutional and regulatory improvements are also making crypto more attractive long-term, not just a niche investment. �

📌 Bottom Line
This generational wealth transfer doesn’t mean all $100 trillion will go into cryptocurrencies, but even a small fraction flowing into crypto markets could significantly boost demand and adoption over the next decade or two — especially as younger, crypto-familiar investors gain more financial power. �
