61% of institutions plan to increase their holdings in crypto assets, potentially迎来 the "next round of institutional capital flow."

Swiss crypto bank Sygnum's latest research shows that despite a significant market correction, institutional investors remain confident in crypto assets. About 61% of institutions plan to increase their crypto investment exposure in the coming months, and 55% of respondents hold a short-term bullish outlook.

The report indicates that approximately 73% of institutions continue to allocate to crypto assets due to expectations of higher future returns, even as the market is still recovering from the $20 billion crash in early October. Sygnum's research director Lucas Schweiger stated that 2025 will be a year of "risk convergence and strong demand," with regulation and ETF progress potentially becoming key catalysts. Currently, at least 16 crypto ETF applications are awaiting approval from the U.S. SEC, with the process delayed due to the government shutdown. Additionally, over 80% of institutions expressed interest in crypto ETFs beyond BTC and ETH, with 70% stating they would start or increase investments if the ETF could provide staking yields. Sygnum believes that staking ETFs could become the next driver of institutional funds in the crypto market.
