Survey: Over 61% of Institutions Plan to Increase Cryptocurrency Investment, 55% Have Short-Term Bullish Outlook

November 11th. Although there was a substantial market correction in October, institutional investors still hold confidence in digital assets. The majority of institutions plan to further increase their allocations in the coming months. A report released on Tuesday by the Swiss crypto bank group Sygnum indicates that more than 61% of institutions plan to increase their cryptocurrency investments, and 55% have short-term bullish expectations. This survey encompassed 1,000 institutional investors globally. Around 73% of the surveyed institutions stated that allocating to crypto assets is expected to yield higher returns in the future, even though the industry is still in the recovery stage after the historic $200 billion plunge in October. However, investor sentiment continues to be uncertain, mainly due to delays in key catalysts such as the "Market Structure Bill" and the availability of more ETFs for altcoins. Lucas Schweiger, the Chief Research Officer of the Crypto Asset Ecosystem at Sygnum, pointed out that this uncertainty may persist until 2026. But he predicted that the digital asset market will become increasingly mature, and institutions will seek diversified allocations to meet long-term growth expectations. "The theme of 2025 is a combination of prudent risk management, pending regulatory decisions in the context of fiscal and geopolitical pressures, and strong demand catalysts. However, investors are now more rational. Market discipline has suppressed irrational exuberance but has not shaken the belief in long-term growth trends."
