Institutional Digital Asset Adoption and Demand for Market Data

Summary

This press release summarizes a survey of asset managers and hedge funds in the United States and Europe about digital-asset activity and infrastructure needs. It reports that 48% of respondents had digital assets under management, while 25% had a dedicated strategy and a further 13% planned to launch one within two years. The release also says 44% expected digital assets to become a growing business line over the next three to five years, and that many participants anticipated growth in digital assets under management.

Respondents identified crypto market data, on-chain data, portfolio management, and risk analytics as near-term priorities; 85% expected to use an outside provider for these needs. The release also describes firms building dedicated expertise, technology, and data infrastructure. These are survey findings and expectations, not measured investment returns or proof of future adoption. The summary does not provide the survey's sample size, methodology, or detailed breakdowns, and it includes promotional statements from the data provider, so the figures should be read as reported research rather than independent market forecasts.
