The regulatory clarity of the cryptographic market was cited as the highest catalyst for the growth of the digital asset industry, according to a survey by Crypto Exchange Coinbase (Coin) and the Consulting Cabinet Ey-Parthenon (EYP).
Coinbase and Ey Parthenon interviewed 352 institutional investors between January 13 and January 24 of this year.
86% of those questioned said they have exhibited digital assets or planned to make allowances in 2025, and 84% declared that they had increased allowances to products related to crypto and crypto in 2024.
59% of respondents said they planned to allocate more than 5% of their assets under management (AUM) to cryptocurrencies in 2025.
A regulatory background improving under the new administration of Donald Trump is considered a large rear wind for the digital asset industry. The president has promised to make the United States the “cryptographic capital of the world”.
Altcoins are also becoming more and more popular among institutional investors, according to the survey. 73% of respondents said they had tokens other than Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), led by 80% hedge funds.
About half of the interviewees said they took advantage of the stablecoins, with the generation of elements, the transactions and foreign exchanges mentioned as the main use cases.
60% of investors said they preferred to be exposed to the crypto via registered vehicles such as the products negotiated on the stock market (ETP).
