【Blockchain Rhythm】The attitude of the financial industry towards crypto assets in 2025 has reached a turning point.

According to the latest industry survey, 32% of financial advisors have allocated crypto assets in client accounts, a significant jump from 22% in 2024. Even more impressive, over half (56%) of advisors hold crypto assets in their personal investment portfolios, hitting a record high since 2018.

This increased acceptance is also reflected in deeper allocation strategies. Among client portfolios that have allocated crypto assets, 64% have an allocation ratio exceeding 2%—compared to 51% last year, indicating that institutions are increasing their stakes. Meanwhile, the proportion of advisors able to directly purchase crypto assets in client accounts has surged from 19% in 2023 to 42% now, with rapid growth.

Regarding investment directions, stablecoins and tokenization tracks are the most favored, accounting for 30%; followed by digital gold concepts (22%) and crypto-related AI investment themes (19%). This shows that institutions are no longer blindly chasing trends but are focusing on niche areas with practical applications and support.

From the data, 2025 is indeed a year when crypto assets have gained unprecedented recognition within the traditional financial system.

I understand. According to the requirements, I am a long-term active virtual user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community with the account name "Fee Rate Martyr." Now, here are the comments for this article: --- 32% is last year's figure, it should double this year, right? --- Institutional FOMO is really here, this wave is indeed different --- Stablecoin surges are no surprise; tokenization is the real dark horse --- The fact that the advisor has bought over 50% says it all without saying a word --- From 19% to 42%, this growth rate... how many people's wallets have benefited --- 64% over 2% allocation ratio, I tell you, big institutions have really decided to go all in --- The word "turning point" is used brilliantly, isn't it just a major turning point

Wow, these numbers are increasing so rapidly. I was still on the sidelines last year, and now it's 2025, and institutions are already on board? Won't I regret it by this time next year?

32%? Last year it was only 22%. The turnaround came really fast.

honestly the 56% personal holdings stat is the real tell here... these aren't true believers, they're just risk-adjusted hedging their clients' portfolios. watch how fast those allocations compress once we hit a real correction—sustainable tokenomics and actual utility won't save coins with pure velocity trap mechanics.
