What Advisors Are Actually Seeing
Crypto in client portfolios, by the numbers: the 2026 advisor survey and institutional moves, with the Canadian layer the headlines skip.
Read the PDF →Your clients increasingly hold crypto, and most of it sits outside the picture you can see. Everything on this page starts free: three guides built for the advisor conversation, interactive tools you can open in a meeting, and a full sample of the paid work. If any of it helps, we can talk. It describes a setup; it never recommends a trade.
In the order most advisors use them.
Three PDFs built for the file and the meeting: the 2026 adoption data read plainly, the fiduciary-duty framework, and a custody due-diligence checklist. Get them below →
Live claimed-versus-actual throughput, fee forecasts, a wire-versus-stablecoin race, and a settlement-cost calculator you can open with a client in the room. Open the tools →
The quarterly due-diligence reference: one issue's opening pages plus one complete asset brief, so you can judge the standard before any conversation. Read the sample →
A diagnostic for your file and a client-facing report you deliver, optionally on your letterhead. Anonymized holdings only; you remain the fiduciary. How it works →
Preparation and in-meeting materials for the crypto conversation itself: intake by alias, a reference guide, and client-facing visuals. What is in it →
See the diagnostic and the client-facing report on real (anonymized) examples. No commitment, and the free material stands on its own either way. Book a walkthrough →
The diagnostic is the internal file. The client-facing report is what you deliver. Take one or both.
Workshops and team sessions exist too, when a whole practice wants the same grounding. If that sounds useful, email shawn@positionclarity.ca.
The diagnostic describes how a holding is set up and where the exposures sit. It is not a valuation, an audit, or a tax filing, and it does not price anyone's holdings or tell your client what to do. Position Clarity provides the diagnostic method and the tools. You remain responsible for all client recommendations, compliance, and fiduciary obligations. Position Clarity is not registered with any Canadian securities regulator and does not give financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Anonymized holdings only, deleted within 30 days of delivery unless you request archival.
The demo takes about fifteen to thirty minutes and commits you to nothing.
The Diagnostic is your internal file and the client-facing report is what you deliver. The Client Conversation Kit is what you bring to the meeting itself: your expertise, our infrastructure. You profile your own practice once, then run each client by alias only, and walk in prepared.
Profile your own crypto knowledge and concerns once, then run each client through the same eight-pillar intake by alias. It produces a Fiduciary Reference Guide with red flags to listen for, plain talking points, and sourced references you can cite.
Show exposure plainly with the live dashboard and interactive Sandbox, descriptive and proportional with no dollar values. Cite quarterly Decoded when a client asks about a specific coin. You are the adviser of record, and the advice remains yours.
Position Clarity supplies tools, visualizations, and sources, all educational and organizational only, in Canadian context. It never makes a recommendation, and it never asks a client for a seed phrase, a private key, or a password.
Decoded is a quarterly institutional reference on the largest crypto assets by market capitalization, written for Canadian advisors and fiduciaries. Each asset gets a judgment-first brief: the institutional read, the Canadian access and regulatory flags, the risks worth knowing, then the sourced figures. No grade, no composite, no buy, sell, or hold.
Decentralization and security, tokenomics, usage, valuation context, liquidity, regulatory lean, governance, and resilience. Each names a property and reports a figure with its source and date.
A naive market-cap list gets things wrong. Every issue states what we included, what we excluded, and why, so the comparison can be defended to a committee or a client.
Every figure is dated, sourced, and reproducible from a frozen quarter snapshot. Contested figures are reported as ranges with a stated basis, never as single facts.
The sample is one issue's opening pages plus one asset brief, in full. If the standard looks right for your file, email shawn@positionclarity.ca and we will figure out what fits. Educational reference only, not investment advice, not a rating or a ranking.
Three free PDF guides, built to the same audited standard as everything else here: the 2026 adoption data read plainly, the fiduciary duty framework, and a custody due-diligence checklist you can bring to a real meeting.
