A new survey by Nomura and Laser Digital indicates a significant shift in institutional investor sentiment toward digital assets. Sixty-five percent of respondents now consider cryptocurrency a crucial portfolio diversifier. This growing acceptance is fueled by improving regulatory frameworks and the introduction of new investment products like ETFs.
The study, polling over 500 investment professionals, found 31% hold a positive outlook on crypto for the coming year, an increase from previous years. Concerns around volatility and counterparty risk persist, but the focus is shifting from 'whether' to invest to 'how' to integrate digital assets into portfolios.
