Institutional investors are showing growing confidence in Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market, with many planning to increase their long-term crypto allocations.
A survey by Swiss crypto bank Sygnum, released on November 14, found that 57% of respondents from 27 countries intend to boost their crypto investments, with 31% planning to do so in the next quarter.
The positive sentiment is largely driven by clearer global regulations, particularly the approval of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs, which are expected to accelerate institutional adoption.
While 5% of respondents plan to reduce their crypto exposure, the majority are focusing on single-token investments (44%) or actively managed strategies (40%).
Institutions still face challenges, including market volatility, security, and custody concerns, but 81% believe better information on crypto would encourage more investment.
