Bitcoin Report from Asset Manager WisdomTree: 'Increasingly Embraced by Institutions!'

According to the new report of asset manager WisdomTree, Bitcoin (BTC) is no longer seen as a speculative investment and is enabling institutional adoption and integration into traditional financial portfolios.

As Corporate Adoption Increases, Bitcoin is Becoming More Widespread

The published report highlights the evolving role of digital assets in the global financial system and identifies key cryptocurrency trends for 2025.

WisdomTree's analysis shows that multi-asset portfolios including Bitcoin consistently outperform portfolios that are not exposed to the cryptocurrency.

This performance trend, when combined with increasing customer demand, is pushing asset managers to integrate Bitcoin into portfolios or take the risk of falling behind in the increasingly digital financial environment.

WisdomTree analyst Dovile Silenskyte said, “As more investors want to be exposed to this transformative asset class, the adoption of Bitcoin will accelerate.”

The launch of US-based spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin in 2024 marked a turning point, making cryptocurrency investments more accessible to mainstream investors.

WisdomTree predicts that this momentum will continue in 2025, as the regulatory environment in the United States becomes more favorable under the Trump administration.

Globally, it is expected that the approval of exchange-traded products (ETPs) for alternative cryptocurrencies such as Solana's SOL and XRP will expand investment opportunities and further integrate cryptocurrencies into traditional finance.

Silenskyte added, "This is the next wave of altcoin ETPs that will diversify crypto investments and strengthen their roles in the global financial ecosystem."

The report also emphasizes the significant role played by Ethereum in decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Web3 applications as a foundation.

Despite scalability issues, recent updates like Dencun are expected to encourage the adoption of layer-2 solutions and further enhance their functionality.
