According to the latest research, despite a significant market correction in October, institutional investors remain confident in digital assets, with most institutions planning to increase their exposure in the coming months.

The Swiss crypto bank group Sygnum stated in a report released on Tuesday that over 61% of institutions plan to increase their cryptocurrency investments, while 55% of institutions have a positive outlook for the short term. The survey covered 1,000 institutional investors globally.

Although the industry is still recovering from the record $20 billion market crash at the beginning of October, about 73% of the surveyed institutions are investing in cryptocurrencies due to expectations of higher future returns.

However, investor sentiment continues to face uncertainty due to delays in key market catalysts, including the market structure bill and the approval of more altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

While this uncertainty may persist until 2026, Sygnum's chief crypto asset ecosystem researcher, Lucas Schweiger, predicts that the digital asset market will mature, with institutions seeking diversified exposure and holding long-term growth expectations.

"The story for 2025 is set against a backdrop of fiscal and geopolitical pressures, prudent risks, pending regulatory decisions, and strong demand catalysts," he said, adding:

Schweiger noted that despite the October correction, "strong demand catalysts" and institutional participation remain at historically high levels, with the growing number of ETF applications indicating more institutional demand.

Currently, at least 16 cryptocurrency ETF applications are awaiting approval, delayed due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which has now entered its 40th day.

Cryptocurrency staking ETFs could become the next fundamental catalyst for institutional cryptocurrency demand.

Over 80% of the surveyed institutions expressed interest in cryptocurrency ETFs beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), while 70% stated they would start or increase their investments if these ETFs offered staking rewards.

Staking refers to locking tokens into a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain network for a predetermined period to secure the network and earn passive income in return.

Meanwhile, according to Sygnum, investors are now looking forward to the end of the government shutdown, which could lead to "bulk approvals" of altcoin ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), catalyzing "the next wave of institutional capital inflow."
