According to a new survey by investment bank Goldman Sachs, the bank’s clients continue to be interested in the cryptocurrency space, and most plan to increase investments in digital assets.
The Block has obtained access to the report and says it surveyed 172 Goldman Sachs clients. Thus, 60% of respondents announced their intention to increase the share of virtual currencies in their portfolios within a year or two. Moreover, a third (32%) of them emphasized that they would “significantly” increase investments in cryptocurrencies.
To date, 51% of respondents have reported investing in cryptocurrencies. For comparison, a year ago this figure was 40%. 55% of respondents plan to invest in digital assets up to 5% of the total investment portfolio. There has also been a significant increase in the interest of institutional investors in collectible tokens (NFTs), altcoins and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Of course, most investors prefer investing in BTC and ETH (22%), but altcoins also attract quite a lot of attention – 15% of respondents expressed interest in them. Another 14% of respondents are considering investing in DeFi, while the NFT sphere so far attracts only 9% of respondents.
A survey conducted in early March by Toluna showed that 75% of investors from Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region would like to increase the share of cryptocurrencies in their portfolios.
