THE TRUST GAP REPORT: Why Millionaires Are Rethinking Their Advisors (And What Needs to Happen Next)

A new Long Angle survey revealed something Wall Street still hasn’t processed:

Millionaires are losing confidence in their wealth advisors — fast.

  • 20% plan to fire their advisor

  • 26% are considering switching

  • 18% may stop using advisors altogether

Nearly two-thirds of wealthy clients are actively rethinking the entire advisor relationship.

And the most shocking line?

Millionaires now trust their gym trainers and therapists more than their financial advisors.

It’s not because trainers know more about money.
It’s because advisors haven’t been given the tools to keep up with what their clients already see happening:

  • Tokenization is accelerating

  • Digital dollars are becoming normal

  • Real-time on-chain markets exist

  • Yield is programmable

  • Portfolios are global, 24/7, and liquid

  • The next generation of wealth expects their advisor to understand Web3

  • And advisors are still stuck explaining why they can’t talk about any of it

This isn’t the advisor’s fault.
It’s a bridge problem.


The Quarterback Medallion: Why Even Champions Have Coaches

Even the best quarterbacks in NFL history — the household names, the Super Bowl champions, the ones who dominate Sundays — don’t step onto the field without a coach.

They don’t run their own drills.
They don’t film their own tape.
They don’t self-manage their progress.

Because the rule is universal:

If you start taking advice from the people in the stands, you’ll end up sitting with them.

High-performers stay high-performers because they have expert support.

So why would millionaires abandon the one coach in their life designed to protect their financial future?


They Aren’t Rejecting Advisors. They’re Rejecting Stagnation.

Clients aren’t leaving advice.
They’re leaving advice that hasn’t evolved.

They’re not firing advisors —
they’re firing advisors who haven't been given a way to bridge Web2 finance to Web3 finance.

There’s a difference.

And it’s the difference between losing a client…
and becoming the advisor that the next generation seeks out.


The Bridge Wealth Advisors Need (And Clients Are Quietly Demanding)

At Token Trust Advisors, we built that missing bridge.

Not a replacement.
Not competition.
A layer advisors can plug into — giving them:

  • Digital dollar onboarding

  • Web3 portfolio reviews

  • Tokenization literacy

  • On-chain yield frameworks

  • AI-supported research

  • Weekly Signals clients love

  • Client-facing education

  • Predictive macro insights

  • Real-time breakdowns of what’s changing next

We help advisors win in the era their clients already see coming.

The shift isn’t that millionaires don’t want advisors.
It’s that they want advisors who can navigate a new landscape without pretending it’s still the old one.
