A recent study conducted by Fidelity Digital Assets reveals that institutional investors, including US pension plans, are increasingly looking into investing in cryptocurrency assets, such as Bitcoin.

The study included a variety of institutional investor groups, such as financial advisors, family offices, hedge funds, endowments, foundations, and pension funds.

Price volatility was highlighted as the primary concern among respondents, with half of them expressing worry about this aspect. Despite these concerns, institutional interest in cryptocurrency assets is on the rise.

The survey indicates a growing interest in digital assets among institutional investors, with 74% of respondents considering buying or investing in them in the future. US high-net-worth investors, in particular, have shown a significant increase in their preference for crypto assets.

Concerns around cryptocurrency investments include price volatility, lack of fundamental value assessment, security issues, market manipulation, and regulatory uncertainty about certain coins.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and multi-digital asset funds are among the most attractive products for institutional investors, reflecting a positive trend in the digital assets industry. Institutional investors in Europe and Asia are more open to including digital assets in their portfolios compared to those in the US.

Overall, the data suggests that the first half of the year has been successful for the digital assets industry, with Bitcoin showing resilience and recently surpassing the $60,500 mark despite a temporary drop earlier in the year.
