A recent Coinbase and EY-Parthenon survey of 350 institutional investors found 86% are exposed to crypto or plan to be in 2025, with 73% already holding at least one altcoin.
XRP (34%) edges out Solana (30%) among altcoins, with most investors preferring exposure through ETFs rather than direct ownership.
80% of institutional investors expect higher crypto prices and 70% see the sector as having the largest potential for risk-adjusted returns, but concerns remain about regulatory uncertainty, volatility, and security.
The survey methodology, including a mix of past and current crypto investors and those planning to invest, may create a biased overly bullish picture.
