The survey, which included 351 institutional investors, indicates that 73% plan to increase their crypto investments in 2026. However, nearly half of the respondents are focusing more on risk management due to market fluctuations. The study highlights a shift towards regulated products, with 66% of investors already using spot crypto ETFs or ETPs, and 81% preferring registered vehicles for crypto access. Stablecoins are gaining traction, with 86% of investors utilizing them for cash management. Additionally, tokenization interest is rising, with 64% of asset managers looking to tokenize assets, and 63% willing to invest in tokenized assets. Regulatory clarity is a significant factor, with 65% of investors citing it as a reason for increased crypto investment, while 66% express concerns over regulatory uncertainty. Recent regulatory developments, such as the GENIUS Act and SEC guidance on tokenized securities, aim to address these concerns.
