Bank of America Survey Finds Minimal Crypto Exposure

Nate Geraci highlighted on X that most participants in the Bank of America Global Fund Manager Survey have no exposure to cryptocurrencies, with an average allocation of 3.2% for those involved.

This underscores persistent institutional hesitancy towards crypto, despite growing interest in U.S. market crypto ETFs.

Institutional Hesitancy Persist Despite Crypto Product Availability

Geraci’s statement on social media underscores the hesitancy among institutional investors, despite advancements in the crypto sector. The Bank of America Global Fund Manager Survey illustrates limited enthusiasm for digital assets, with a majority of participants showing no portfolio exposure.

The event suggests a disconnect between product availability and institutional uptake. While crypto ETFs and related products continue to expand, the survey findings signal a slow adoption rate that may impact market dynamics.

Key figures in the crypto community have called for increased clarity and education to bridge this gap. Industry advocates argue the need for tailored solutions to address institutional concerns and boost confidence in digital asset adoption.

Historical Crypto Allocations Remain Low Despite Innovation

Did you know? Historically, allocation to crypto in institutional surveys has remained low despite surges in ETF interest, illustrating a lag between market innovations and fund manager adoption.

Bitcoin (BTC) trades at $118,506.68, with a market cap of $2.36 trillion and 58.64% market dominance. The asset’s 24-hour trading volume is $45.59 billion, reflecting a 25.97% decrease, as reported by CoinMarketCap. BTC’s price rose 0.65% over 24 hours and increased 14.77% over 90 days.

Experts from Coincu suggest that a shift in allocation policies could significantly boost institutional capital in mainstream cryptocurrencies. Analysts emphasize the importance of overcoming regulatory hurdles to facilitate deeper market participation, leveraging insights from historical trends and potential technological advancements.
