71% of Institutional Investors Plan to Avoid Cryptocurrency in 2025
A survey by JPMorgan indicates that 71% of institutional investors plan to avoid cryptocurrency trading entirely in 2025. Key findings include:
- 16% of institutional traders intend to trade in crypto this year, up from 13% in 2024.
- 13% of respondents are currently trading in crypto, showing slight growth.
- 41% of surveyed traders cite market volatility as their main concern, an increase from 28% last year.
Concerns about price fluctuations and unclear regulations continue to hinder broader participation in the crypto market. Ongoing legal issues involving platforms like Binance, Coinbase, and Ripple Labs add to this skepticism.
Despite reluctance towards crypto, there is a strong interest in adopting electronic trading systems among institutional traders. The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning is also growing in finance.
Market volatility remains a significant issue for crypto traders. A pseudonymous trader, Sykodelic, notes ongoing retracements in the market despite pro-crypto political movements. Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, predicts 2025 will be a key year for cryptocurrencies amid these fluctuations.
