Survey Reveals Mixed Sentiment on US Crypto Opportunities

A recent survey from the CfC St. Moritz 2025 conference reveals mixed sentiment among 230 industry leaders about the crypto market.

Key findings include:

  • 61% of executives believe the US presents the biggest opportunities for growth in crypto, despite its current regulatory challenges.
  • 57% anticipate the emergence of crypto ETFs for the top 20 coins soon.
  • 76% consider the global macroeconomic environment favorable or conducive to crypto growth.
  • Top sectors for opportunity include fintech, payments, and trading technology.
  • About one-third expect traditional finance (TradFi) institutions to dominate the crypto space, while another third foresee a balanced retail-TradFi split.

Despite optimism, 70% of respondents report continued intense regulatory scrutiny. Ex-CFTC Chair J. Christopher Giancarlo emphasizes the need for effective policy creation alongside the cessation of bad policies.
