Institutional Entry Accelerates, New Trends in Crypto Market
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, recently shared insights indicating that institutional investors are now heavily purchasing cryptocurrencies, reflecting growing mainstream acceptance of digital assets.
Users Lean Toward Institutional Products
At the same time, individual crypto users are showing a clear preference for financial products offered by institutional players. This suggests that while retail users understand blockchain technology, they are leaning toward institutional-grade solutions that offer better risk management and liquidity when making investment decisions.
Market Structure Is Evolving
Siu emphasized that this shift highlights how the crypto market is transitioning from being retail-dominated to one increasingly driven by institutions and professional investors. As more regulated financial instruments enter the space, this structural change is expected to become more pronounced.
