Data: The proportion of traditional hedge funds holding cryptocurrencies has risen to 55%.

A joint survey by the Association of Alternative Investment Management (AIMA) and PwC shows that traditional hedge funds' holdings of cryptocurrencies have risen from 47% in 2024 to 55% this year. The survey covered 122 institutional investors and hedge fund management companies globally, managing nearly $1 trillion in assets. 47% of the surveyed institutional investors said the current regulatory environment encourages them to increase their cryptocurrency allocation, primarily benefiting from Trump's appointment of a cryptocurrency-friendly regulator and the signing of the GENIUS Act. Among cryptocurrency-specific funds, Bitcoin remains the most popular asset, followed by Ethereum and Solana. Traditional hedge funds allocate an average of 7% of their managed assets to cryptocurrencies, up from 6% last year. 71% of respondents plan to increase their cryptocurrency exposure in the next twelve months.
