Wealth managers have long kept digital assets on the sidelines of their portfolios. The trend could reverse. After a Bitwise presentation to about 400 professionals, 60% of participants say they plan an allocation within the next twelve months. Yet, 67% still have none. Between curiosity, internal constraints, and more familiar investment vehicles, crypto is gaining ground without having won the game yet. XRP, however, already attracts questions.
In brief
- Among the 400 managers surveyed after a Bitwise presentation, 60% plan an allocation within the year, while 67% still have no exposure.
- XRP sparked the most questions during the presentation; its U.S. ETFs accumulated $1.68 billion in inflows since November 2025.
- The Nickel study reveals that 84% of institutional respondents see ETPs normalizing digital assets, despite regulatory, operational, and liquidity obstacles.
- Henley & Partners counts 135,694 crypto millionaires worldwide, including 92,272 Bitcoin millionaires, out of 742 million holders.
67% are still sitting out — yet 60% are ready to jump in
Ryan Rasmussen, director of research at Bitwise, published three results that summarize the mood quite well. Among the managers surveyed, 67% still allocate nothing to crypto. In the same group, 60% think prices will end the year higher, and just as many plan to invest within twelve months.
