61% of institutions plan to increase their holdings of cryptoassets, or welcome the "next round of institutional capital flows"

The latest research from Swiss crypto bank Sygnum shows that institutional investors remain confident in crypto assets despite the sharp market correction. About 61% of institutions plan to increase their crypto exposure in the coming months, and 55% of respondents are short-term bullish.
According to the report, about 73% of institutions continue to allocate crypto assets in anticipation of improved future returns, even as the market is still recovering from the $20 billion plunge in early October. According to Lucas Schweiger, head of research at Sygnum, 2025 will be a year of "risk convergence and strong demand", with regulatory and ETF progress likely to be key catalysts. At least 16 crypto ETF applications are currently pending approval by the US SEC, and the process has been delayed due to the government shutdown. In addition, more than 80% of institutions expressed interest in crypto ETFs other than BTC and ETH, and 70% of them said they would start or increase investments if ETFs could provide a pledge yield. Sygnum believes that pledged ETFs may become the next institutional funding driver in the crypto market.
