JPMorgan: 89% of family offices avoid crypto in 2026

JPMorgan’s 2026 report shows 89% of global family offices avoid crypto due to volatility. Only 17% plan to prioritize digital assets, while 65% focus on AI investments.

JPMorgan Private Bank’s 2026 Global Family Office Report reveals that 89% of global family offices do not include cryptocurrencies in their portfolios. This highlights a strong preference for stability and caution amid ongoing market volatility and geopolitical risks. The survey, which covered 333 family offices across 30 countries with an average net worth of $1.6 billion, also found that 72% avoid gold, another traditional hedge. The main reasons for steering clear of digital assets are their high volatility and inconsistent correlation with other asset classes. Only 17% of respondents plan to prioritize digital assets in the future, while a much larger 65% are focusing on investments in artificial intelligence. Family offices continue to allocate most of their assets to public equities and alternative investments, with U.S. large-cap equities dominating their holdings. The report underscores a cautious stance toward crypto, with most family offices remaining on the sidelines despite ongoing hype and media coverage.
