Scott Ford and Ryan Nelson took on leadership roles within U.S. Bank's Wealth Management division. During a briefing on the bank’s 2026 Wealth Report, the executives addressed questions regarding whether younger generations have abandoned traditional wealth-building methods.

The report indicates that two-thirds of younger generations still begin their financial journey with a conventional brokerage account, rather than a crypto wallet. The bank’s panel also refuted the idea of 'financial nihilism,' which suggests that younger people are abandoning traditional paths to wealth for exotic assets.
