  • Institutional investors have significantly increased their digital asset allocations to 3% in their portfolios, the highest level since 2021, driven by the launch of US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs.
  • Bitcoin remains the most sought-after digital asset among institutional investors, followed by Ethereum, while Solana has seen a surge in investor enthusiasm.
  • Regulatory concerns and volatility remain the foremost barriers for most institutional investors looking to invest in crypto assets.

The launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US this year has led to increased crypto exposure among institutional investors. According to a recent survey, these investors now allocate 3% of their portfolios to crypto on average. This marks a significant jump from previous years.

Institutional Investor Crypto Portfolios

The survey conducted by CoinShares revealed that institutional investors have predominantly allocated to Bitcoin in their crypto portfolios. Over a quarter of respondents said they had Bitcoin exposure through investing in the new spot ETFs.

After Bitcoin, Ethereum remains the second largest holding for institutional investors, although enthusiasm has declined recently. According to the respondents, BTC and ETH have the most compelling growth outlook among digital assets.

While Solana has seen a surge of interest with its allocation rising to 14%, other alternative crypto assets have struggled. Notably, none of the surveyed investors reported holding XRP anymore.

Barriers to Institutional Crypto Adoption

Despite growing crypto allocations, the CoinShares survey found that regulatory concerns remain the biggest barrier to investing for most institutions. The SEC and other regulators have targeted many crypto companies with legal action, creating uncertainty.

Additionally, crypto’s inherent volatility continues to make some investors hesitant. However, issues like custody, reputation risk, and lack of investment rationale have become less problematic over time.

Conclusion

The advent of Bitcoin ETFs in the US has significantly boosted institutional crypto adoption. Investors now hold an average of 3% in digital assets, up considerably from last year. While regulatory scrutiny remains a hurdle, investor perceptions of crypto assets are clearly improving.
