A new Coinbase and EY-Parthenon study reveals that despite recent market volatility, institutional investors are increasing their crypto exposure in 2025.
Over 75% of institutional investors plan to increase their crypto holdings in 2025. 59% of respondents intend to allocate over 5% of their assets under management to digital assets. Regulatory clarity was the top reason cited for increasing crypto exposure. 60% of investors prefer gaining exposure through regulated products like ETFs. 74% of surveyed investors hold altcoins beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
The survey was conducted in mid-January 2025 when Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $108,000. Since then, BTC has dropped below $80,000, but institutional interest remains strong, thanks to ETF adoption and regulatory progress.
With Donald Trump’s administration introducing pro-crypto policies, institutional investments in ETFs, stablecoins, and altcoins are expected to rise, reinforcing long-term bullish sentiment in the crypto market.
As regulatory frameworks solidify and investment vehicles expand, institutions are positioning themselves for a deeper integration into the crypto market.
