A survey conducted by Fidelity Investments and published Thursday found that, already, around 22% of investors have some exposure to digital assets, while 40% say they are open to taking the plunge in the next five years.
For the research, the company said it polled over 400 U.S. institutional investors, including pensions, family offices, crypto and traditional hedge funds and financial advisors, as well as endowments and foundations. “We’ve seen a maturation of interest in digital assets from early adopters, like crypto hedge funds, to traditional institutional investors like family offices and endowments,” said Tom Jessop, president of Fidelity Digital AssetsSM, a provider of institutional custody and trading services for digital assets.
