Survey: Crypto Investors Value Infrastructure Over DeFi

PANews, February 4th – According to Cointelegraph, a survey report released by the CfC St. Moritz Digital Asset Conference shows that seasoned crypto investors and executives are shifting their capital allocation focus from decentralized finance (DeFi) to core infrastructure. The survey was conducted in January and included 242 institutional investors, founders, executives, and regulatory representatives.

The survey reveals that 85% of respondents identified infrastructure as their primary investment direction, ranking it above DeFi, compliance, and cybersecurity. Respondents pointed out that market depth and settlement capabilities are key bottlenecks preventing larger-scale institutional capital from entering, and liquidity shortages are seen as the industry's most urgent risk. Although about 84% of respondents believe the macro environment is favorable for crypto growth, most think that the current market infrastructure is still insufficient to support a large influx of capital.
