Wall Street Set to Ramp Up Bitcoin Allocations Before Year-End, Veteran Analyst Predicts
Wall Street's warming up to Bitcoin—big time. A seasoned analyst just dropped a bombshell prediction: major financial institutions plan to significantly boost their Bitcoin exposure before the ball drops on 2025.
Why the sudden rush? Institutions finally get it—hedging against traditional market volatility isn't just wise; it's necessary. Bitcoin's proving its mettle as a non-correlated asset, and the smart money's taking notice.
Timing is everything. With regulatory clarity improving and custody solutions maturing, barriers to entry are crumbling. Wall Street hates uncertainty—and right now, Bitcoin's looking like the least uncertain bet in a shaky market.
Don't expect a gentle ramp-up. When these whales move, they move fast. We're talking allocations that could shift markets—and shake out the weak hands. Another classic Wall Street move: late to the party but first to the buffet.
Love it or hate it, institutional adoption isn't slowing down. Bitcoin's heading for prime time—whether the old guard likes it or not.
Visser: Wall Street Gearing Up for 2026 With Bigger Bitcoin Bets
Visser believes traditional players are preparing now for 2026 and sees Bitcoin’s role expanding across institutional portfolios.
His comments echo findings from a March 2025 Coinbase–EY Parthenon survey, which showed 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their crypto exposure next year.
Bitwise, in a separate May report, projected up to $120 billion in Bitcoin inflows by 2025, and $300 billion by 2026.
The timing of Visser’s forecast coincides with renewed strength in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
US-based funds have pulled in roughly $2.33 billion in net inflows over the past week alone, bringing total inflows since their January launch to nearly $57 billion, according to Farside data.
Public companies are also leaning further into Bitcoin. As of now, the combined holdings of Bitcoin across public firms total more than $117 billion, based on data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET.
On the technical front, Visser said he’s been encouraged by recent chart activity. While avoiding a firm price prediction, he noted signs of “mini breakouts” across the broader crypto market.
He highlighted Ethereum’s consolidation between $4,000 and $5,000, and suggested that a rally across the full ecosystem, including altcoins like Dogecoin and Sui, would confirm broader market momentum.
The forecast arrives as Bitcoin continues to hover around $115,000, with traders debating whether a cycle peak is NEAR or still ahead.
Arthur Hayes Urges Bitcoin Investors to Think Long-Term
As reported, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is pushing back against the short-term mindset dominating the crypto space, warning that many Bitcoin investors are too focused on quick gains.
In a recent interview, Hayes criticized the obsession with instant wealth, stating that those expecting to buy a Lamborghini the day after buying Bitcoin are likely to be liquidated.
While Bitcoin currently lags behind recent record highs in stocks and gold, Hayes dismissed comparisons as flawed.
He argued that when adjusted for inflation and currency debasement, Bitcoin remains the top-performing asset, outperforming traditional markets in real terms. “Deflate things by Bitcoin,” he said, “you can’t even see them on the chart.”
Despite market volatility, Hayes remains bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory. He previously predicted BTC could hit $250,000 by the end of 2025.
Despite Hayes’ warning, young men are emerging as the dominant demographic in crypto ownership, viewing digital assets not just as investments, but as quick paths to wealth.
