Over 60% of Global Funds Plan to Increase Crypto Exposure

Swiss institution Sygnum Bank estimates that the end of the U.S. government shutdown could trigger bulk approvals for multiple altcoin ETFs, driving renewed institutional inflows into the crypto market. The report, published on Tuesday, shows that institutional investors remain confident in digital assets despite October’s sharp market correction.

The survey, which included 1,000 institutional investors worldwide, found that 61% plan to increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies in the coming months, while 55% hold a short-term bullish outlook.

According to Sygnum, 73% of respondents invest in digital assets expecting higher long-term returns, even as the market recovers from the $20 billion crash in early October.

The bank notes that sentiment remains influenced by regulatory uncertainty, particularly regarding the Market Structure Bill and pending altcoin ETF approvals, which were delayed by the U.S. government shutdown. Despite these challenges, Sygnum concludes that the digital asset market continues to mature, with institutional interest staying strong.
