Operational friction, not risk, blocks wealthy investors from fully integrating crypto into long-term plans.

Nexo's report reveals that operational challenges like security, fees, and platform usability, rather than risk concerns, prevent affluent investors in the US, UK, and Argentina from deeply integrating crypto into their financial strategies. While two-thirds already hold crypto, only 4.7% treat it as a core long-term asset, with the average integration score at 4.83 out of 10. The study shows strong conviction in crypto's wealth potential, especially among younger investors, but highlights the need for smoother, more secure platforms to turn crypto ownership into wealth-building. Market and age differences also affect integration depth, with the US leading in integration despite lower ownership rates.

The operational challenges highlighted by Nexo's report coincide with the current trading environment for NEXO tokens on Pluang. As of Sep 23, 2026 21:27 WIB, NEXO trades at Rp15.532 with a 1-day change of -1.62%. Despite these frictions, Pluang users show strong buying interest, with 100% buy orders and a typical holding period of 30 days, indicating ongoing confidence in the asset's potential.
