The CEO of Henley & Partners, Juerg Steffen, said the firm had received a spike in the number of crypto-related inquiries by millionaires in the last six months as part of efforts “to protect themselves against any potential future bans on the trading or use of cryptocurrencies in their countries” as well as “allay the risks of aggressive fiscal policies that tax digital assets at source.”
