Growing regulatory clarity and expanding use cases are driving this trend with 59% of respondents expecting to allocate more than 5% of their assets to crypto in 2025 signaling its shift into mainstream portfolios.
Stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi) are gaining traction among institutions with 84% using or considering stablecoins for yield generation foreign exchange and cash management. DeFi adoption is set to rise sharply with only 24% currently engaged but projections show that number reaching 75% by 2027 as interest grows in derivatives staking and lending. Bitcoin and Ethereum remain dominant while XRP and Solana are among the most popular alternative assets.
Regulatory clarity remains a crucial factor with 68% believing it will drive further adoption. Despite concerns over volatility and security institutional players continue to expand their engagement signaling long-term confidence in digital assets.
