0:04
Insight from JP Morgan's latest survey a
0:07
survey that reveals a surprising fact
0:09
over 70% of institutional Traders have
0:12
no plans to trade cryptocurrencies this
0:14
year in today's video we'll break down
0:16
what this means why these big players
0:19
remain cautious and how Market factors
0:21

0:30
our weekly market analysis JP Morgan
0:33
recently conducted an extensive e
0:35
trading survey targeting institutional
0:37
Traders around the world the results are
0:39
intriguing a whopping 71% of
0:42
institutional Traders say they have no
0:44
plans to trade crypto or digital coins
0:47
this year this figure marks a slight
0:49
decrease from 78% in the previous year
0:52
indicating a marginally more open
0:54
sentiment but still the vast majority
0:57
are staying on the sidelines even though
0:59
six 15% of Traders plan to start trading
1:02
cryptocurrencies this year and an
1:04
additional 133% are already actively
1:07
trading the numbers suggest that the
1:09
institutional World remains generally
1:11
wary of crypto markets so what's behind
1:13
this cautious approach one reason for
1:16
this conservatism is the overall
1:17
uncertainty in the market many
1:19
institutional Traders view crypto as a
1:22
highly volatile asset class let's talk
1:24
numbers while some are slowly dipping
1:26
their toes in with 16% planning to trade
1:30
and 133% already trading the majority
1:33
aren't convinced that crypto fits into
1:35
their risk management framework yet
1:37
institutional investors typically manage
1:39
enormous portfolios and even a slight
1:41
misstep in a volatile market like crypto
1:44
can lead to significant losses it's not
1:46
just about the price swings it's about
1:48
managing liquidity adhering to strict
1:51
regulatory Frameworks and protecting
1:53
their clients funds while the appetite
1:55
for crypto trading remains low one
1:58
notable trend from the survey is that
2:00
100% of respondents plan to increase
2:02
their online or electronic trading
2:05
activity this is especially True For
2:07
Less liquid assets suggesting that while
2:10
crypto might not be their top Focus
2:12
there is an undeniable move toward
2:13
digital trading platforms overall this
2:16
digital transformation is reshaping how
2:18
traditional financial institutions
2:20
operate even if their interest in crypto
2:23
specifically is cautious it appears that
2:25
institutions are exploring digital
2:27
trading methods in a broader sense which
2:30
might eventually trickle down to more
2:31
active crypto participation in the
2:33
future interestingly this hesitancy
2:36
comes at a time when the regulatory
2:37
landscape for digital Assets in the
2:39
United States is seemingly improving
2:42
recent policy adjustments and changes at
2:44
Major Financial agencies have lowered
2:46
barriers and some key developments
2:48
include the US Securities and Exchange
2:51
Commission scaling back its crypto
2:53
enforcement unit executive actions from
2:55
the previous administration such as
2:58
directives to create Sovereign wealth
2:59
funds funds with proc crypto elements
3:02
actions endorsed by figures like
3:03
treasury secretary Scott bessent and
3:05
Commerce Secretary Howard lutnick
3:08
despite these positive regulatory moves
3:10
institutional Traders remain cautious
3:13
Global head of digital markets at J Pim
3:15
Morgan eddie1 has noted that while new
3:17
policies are in place to support market
3:19
growth the risk profile of crypto
3:21
trading hasn't changed enough for many
3:23
large institutions essentially while the
3:26
door is slightly a jar most Traders
3:28
aren't yet stepping in side let's talk
3:30
about the market challenges that are top
3:32
of mind for institutional traders in
3:35
2025 the survey indicates that inflation
3:38
and tariffs are viewed as major
3:40
influences in fact 51% of participants
3:44
see these as the core risks affecting
3:46
market performance in the coming year
3:48
geopolitical tensions add another layer
3:50
of uncertainty with escalating conflicts
3:53
and global trade issues further
3:54
dampening enthusiasm Market volatility
3:57
is another major concern the survey
4:00
showed that 41% of Traders identify
4:02
volatility as their biggest challenge a
4:05
sharp rise from 28% last year cut to a
4:08
dynamic graphic showing a volatility
4:10
index Rising these issues create an
4:13
environment where even a strong
4:14
regulatory framework may not be enough
4:16
to persuade institutional traders to
4:19
take on the extra risk associated with
4:21
cryptocurrencies essentially the
4:23
unpredictability of broader market
4:25
conditions is a huge deterrent so what
4:28
does all this mean for the future of of
4:29
institutional crypto trading while the
4:32
current sentiment is largely
4:33
conservative the slight shift from 78%
4:36
saying no in 2024 to 71% in 2025
4:41
suggests a gradual opening up even
4:44
though the majority are holding back the
4:46
growing numbers of Traders planning to
4:47
enter the market could signal a slow but
4:50
steady change as electronic and online
4:52
trading platforms become more
4:54
sophisticated institutions might gain
4:56
more confidence in managing the risks
4:59
associated with digital assets future
5:01
regulatory clarifications coupled with
5:04
improvements in Market stability could
5:06
gradually tip the scales in favor of
5:08
increased institutional participation in
5:10
crypto trading in a nutshell while the
5:13
cautious stance prevails today we might
5:15
see institutional players slowly
5:17
increasing their crypto exposure as
5:19
market conditions evolve and risk
5:21
management tools improve Market experts
5:24
like Dr Teel JP Morgan's Global co-head
5:27
of macro sales aren't surprised by the
5:29
focus on tariffs and inflation she
5:31
remarked that these factors are expected
5:33
to remain Central in the coming year
5:36
when institutional Traders see these
5:37
challenges it naturally dampens their
5:40
appetite for higher risk assets like
5:42
cryptocurrencies it does not surprise me
5:44
that 51% of the participants thought
5:47
that tariffs and inflation will be two
5:49
of the central risks for the market this
5:51
expert Insight reinforces the idea that
5:54
while crypto might be booming in retail
5:56
circles the institutional world is
5:58
looking at the macro pict picture very
6:00
carefully they're balancing the
6:02
potential upside of digital assets with
6:04
a rigorous evaluation of Market risks to
6:07
sum up JP Morgan's survey gives us a
6:09
snapshot of the current institutional
6:11
mindset even with an improving
6:13
regulatory environment and growing
6:15
digital trading capabilities over 70% of
6:18
institutional Traders still aren't ready
6:20
to jump into crypto trading their focus
6:23
remains on managing risks posed by
6:25
inflation tariffs geopolitical tensions
6:28
and heightened Market volatility
6:30
what does this mean for the crypto
6:31
market for now institutional adoption
6:34
appears to be progressing very slowly
6:37
however as digital trading becomes more
6:39
refined and if Market stability improves
6:42
we might see more institutions gradually
6:44
stepping in in the meantime retail
6:46
investors and smaller players may
6:48
continue to drive much of the current
6:50
crypto momentum thanks for watching what
6:53
do you think about this cautious stance
6:55
will institutional players eventually
6:57
Embrace crypto trading or will Market
6:59
risks keep them on the sidelines drop
