Survey: Over 61% of institutions plan to increase investment in Crypto Assets, with 55% holding a short-term bullish outlook.

On November 11, despite a significant pullback in the market in October, institutional investors' confidence in digital assets remains solid, with the majority planning to further increase their allocations in the coming months. A report released by Swiss crypto bank Sygnum on Tuesday shows that over 61% of institutions plan to increase their cryptocurrency investments, and 55% hold short-term bullish expectations. This survey covered 1,000 institutional investors globally. About 73% of the surveyed institutions indicated that allocating to crypto assets is expected to yield higher returns in the future, despite the industry still being in a recovery phase after the historic big dump of $20 billion in October. However, investor sentiment continues to face uncertainty, primarily due to delays in key catalysts such as the 'Market Structure Bill' and more altcoin ETFs. Lucas Schweiger, Chief Crypto Asset Ecosystem Researcher at Sygnum, pointed out that this uncertainty could extend until 2026, but he predicts that the digital asset market will mature, and institutions will seek diversified allocations under long-term growth expectations. “The main theme for 2025 is the interplay of prudent risk management, pending regulatory decisions, and strong demand catalysts against a backdrop of fiscal and geopolitical pressures, but investors are now becoming more rational. Market discipline has curbed the frenzy but has not shaken the belief in the long-term growth trend.”
