Binance’s new platform targets growing demand for crypto in wealth management
Binance, one of the world’s best crypto exchanges, has announced the launch of Binance Wealth, a technical solution designed to equip wealth managers with the tools to advise high-net-worth clients on digital asset investments. As the first crypto exchange to introduce such a service, Binance Wealth is positioned to meet the rising interest among high-net-worth clients who seek exposure to digital assets like Bitcoin and beyond, with the direct guidance of their trusted advisors.
Through Binance Wealth, wealth managers apply to onboard and subsequently provide support to their clients during the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) verification process. This setup allows advisors to recommend strategies and products while clients retain control over their investments, mimicking traditional wealth management with the added flexibility of cryptocurrency investments.
According to Binance, this model addresses a gap in the market by offering private wealth clients a secure pathway to diversify their portfolios with digital assets, with insights from experienced advisors in the crypto space. Catherine Chen, Head of Binance VIP & Institutional, commented:
“As investors worldwide recognize the potential of digital assets, we are responding to wealth managers and their clients asking for a solution to more easily access crypto. Unlocking capital inflow is key to making digital assets mainstream but there has long been a lack of traditional infrastructure for the private wealth segment to gain exposure to crypto. Binance Wealth will reduce the entry barrier for more market participants to access this new asset class and help bridge crypto and traditional finance.”
Features tailored for wealth managers
Designed with input from both crypto and traditional finance experts, Binance Wealth’s user-friendly interface offers a variety of features familiar to financial advisors. Key highlights include:
Familiar Financial Structure: Wealth managers operate within a traditional advisory framework, offering clients a familiar experience as they transition to crypto assets.
Comprehensive Portfolio Overview: Advisors can access a unified dashboard for streamlined client and portfolio management, tracking both active and passive investments.
Broad Token Access: Clients gain exposure to an extensive selection of tokens supported by Binance, beyond typical assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Flexible Investment Options: Binance Wealth offers a range of trading and staking products, accommodating diverse strategies and risk tolerances.
VIP Services: Advisors are supported with a dedicated VIP service, which includes personalized account management and exclusive access to Binance’s liquidity pools.
This range of features lowers the entry barrier for wealth managers venturing into digital assets, opening avenues for more traditional investors to consider crypto within a familiar structure.
Expanding access to digital assets for institutional clients
The release of Binance Wealth reflects the company's ongoing commitment to bridging traditional finance with the digital asset economy. This latest offering adds to a series of innovations, including Binance’s banking triparty solution, which supports institutional investors by securing their assets in traditional forms with partner banks, further reducing counterparty risks in digital transactions.
The bottom line
Binance Wealth is setting new standards for wealth managers seeking to support clients interested in digital assets. By offering a technical solution that integrates familiar advisory practices with the flexibility of crypto investments, Binance aims to enable wealth managers to help clients diversify their portfolios responsibly. Through tools and resources specifically designed for the advisory role, Binance Wealth bridges the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, opening new opportunities for wealth management in the crypto space.
