96% of investors see potential in cryptocurrencies, but what is holding them back?

Laser Digital, a subsidiary of the Japanese financial holding company Nomura, conducted a survey to shed light on the reasons behind the skepticism among institutional investors toward crypto.

More than 300 opinions were collected from respondents with diverse profiles, including wealth managers, asset managers, insurance companies, pension funds, and other institutional investors from 21 countries all over the world.

96% of the investors surveyed recognized the potential of cryptocurrencies. According to them, these assets represent "an investment diversification opportunity "

However, not everything is so straightforward, and 90% of the investors surveyed don't consider investing in cryptocurrencies in the current state of affairs. They affirm that the support of a "large traditional financial institution" is imperative before they decide to invest in crypto.

It's time to establish a clear framework to govern the industry, especially in the US.

TL;DR

Institutional investors are increasingly expressing interest in cryptocurrencies and demonstrating their potential. However, despite being aware of the strong potential of these digital assets, most of them hesitate to dive in. The cause? The growing regulatory uncertainty in the US.
