Global Asset Managers Eye 16% Portfolio Share for Digital Assets by 2028
Institutional investors are accelerating their push into digital assets, with allocations projected to double from 7% in 2025 to 16% by 2028. State Street's forecast suggests this shift could funnel over $7 trillion into cryptocurrencies and tokenized investments, marking a decisive MOVE from fringe speculation to mainstream adoption.
Nearly 60% of asset managers plan to increase exposure within the next year, with most targeting a 100% expansion by 2028. "What was once a speculative corner of finance is now unavoidable," says Elizabeth Tran of Titan Asset Management, underscoring the sector's transformation.
Regulatory clarity and tokenization are driving forces behind the capital surge. The trend reflects Wall Street's growing conviction in blockchain-based assets as permanent portfolio fixtures rather than transient bets.
