Odaily News A recent JPMorgan survey of institutional traders showed that more than 70% of respondents had no plans to trade cryptocurrencies this year, a slight drop from 78% in 2024.
However, the number of traders interested in cryptocurrencies has increased, with 16% of respondents planning to trade digital assets and 13% already active in the space.
All respondents in the survey expressed an intention to increase online or electronic trading activity, especially in less liquid assets. This shift in focus comes against the backdrop of a more favorable regulatory environment for digital currencies following major changes in U.S. financial institutions.
While institutional interest in cryptocurrencies remains modest, inflation and tariffs are expected to be the main concerns for the market in 2025, followed by increased geopolitical tensions. Market volatility is considered the biggest challenge for traders, with concerns increasing significantly compared to the previous year. In addition to trading trends, there are signs that the US government is softening its stance on cryptocurrencies. (Cryptodnes)
