Gate News reports that on March 18, a certain CEX, in collaboration with EY-Parthenon, conducted a survey of 351 institutional investors. The results show that despite the crypto market experiencing a correction since October last year, institutional confidence remains strong. 73% of respondents plan to increase their digital asset allocations by 2026, and 74% expect the crypto market to rebound and rise within the next 12 months. In terms of investment methods, about two-thirds of institutions prefer to gain exposure through regulated tools such as exchange-traded products (ETPs), reflecting an increased reliance on compliant channels. Meanwhile, over three-quarters of respondents believe that market structure regulation clarity is one of the most critical issues at present. Despite heightened market volatility, institutional strategies are becoming more cautious. 49% of respondents say they are placing greater emphasis on risk management, liquidity, and position control rather than reducing overall exposure.
