Institutions Warm to Crypto as Diversifier in Poll, Bitcoin at $75,300

A Nomura poll of over 500 investment pros shows 31% hold positive crypto views—up from 25% in 2024—with 65% seeing it as a portfolio diversifier and 79% planning 2%-5% allocations within three years, as Bitcoin trades near $75,300, 40% below its peak. This echoes yesterday's survey highlighting similar sentiment shifts driven by regulatory clarity and products like derivatives, staking, and stablecoins. While volatility and risk concerns linger, broadening interest signals gradual institutional inflows supporting steady market demand.
