While the number of people investing in Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies continues to increase, US banking giant JPMorgan announced striking survey results.
The survey was conducted from Jan. 9-23, with 4,200 JPMorgan clients participating from 60 locations around the world.
According to the survey results, 71% of institutional investors stated that they do not plan to trade cryptocurrencies in 2025.
The results show that this rate dropped from 78% in 2024 to 71% in 2025, with only 16% of respondents stating that they plan to trade cryptocurrencies.
13% of participants stated that they currently trade cryptocurrencies.
Investors said inflation and tariffs were the top factors affecting the cryptocurrency market this year, with geopolitical tensions a secondary concern. Additionally, 41% of survey respondents said market volatility remains the biggest challenge for cryptocurrency trading.
“It doesn’t surprise me that 51% of respondents think tariffs and inflation are going to be the two primary risks or the two key areas that the market will focus on,” said Gergana Thiel, co-head of global macro sales at JPMorgan.
