Institutional Investors Signal Strong Confidence in Digital Assets for 2025

A new study released by Coinbase Institutional and EY-Parthenon shows a resounding shift in institutional investors' sentiment toward digital assets, setting the tone for what may be a record-breaking year in the sector.


The survey, conducted in January 2025, polled over 350 institutional investors, including asset managers, hedge funds, pension funds, endowments, and insurance companies. The findings are unequivocal:
  • More than 75% of respondents stated they expect to increase their allocations to digital assets in 2025.
  • 59% of those surveyed said they intend to allocate over 5% of their total assets under management to digital assets or related products.

Notably, the survey took place during a period of strong market momentum, as the price of Bitcoin surpassed $100,000, reaching new all-time highs. However, the report emphasizes that this positive sentiment reflects long-term conviction rather than short-term euphoria.
 

A Strategic Shift Toward Digital Asset Integration

While institutional interest in digital assets has been steadily building over the past few years, 2025 appears to mark a clear inflection point. The research highlights several key drivers behind this shift:
  • Maturation of infrastructure for custody, execution, and reporting
  • Increased regulatory clarity in jurisdictions like the EU, USA, Singapore, and the UAE
  • Demand for diversified, alternative return sources in a high-interest rate environment

This evolving landscape has also led to the development of more sophisticated, professionally managed digital asset vehicles tailored to institutional needs.
