Binance’s Head of VIP Expects Institutional Involvement in Crypto to Rise in 2025

Binance’s Head of VIP Expects Institutional Involvement in Crypto to Rise in 2025. Institutional involvement in the crypto market is rising as more people worldwide adopt digital assets as a financial instrument. Last year, this growth was represented by the United States' approval of two crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Europe's adoption of the MiCA framework. Several digital assets have already submitted new applications for spot ETFs. In November 2024, asset managers VanEck, 21Shares, and Canary’s Capital filed for a Solana (SOL) ETF with the SEC. The SEC also received ETF applications from Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR), and Ripple (XRP) Despite widespread optimism over approving more ETFs in the coming year, several factors need to be considered regarding this likelihood. In 2024, cryptocurrency became one of Donald Trump’s central pillars during his election campaign. This will help increase the awareness of other countries across the world, Chen said. Institutional interest in cryptocurrency rose among major financial players and companies limited to the retail sector. In March, BlackRock unveiled the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) Fidelity International followed in BlackRock’s footsteps in June when it announced that it had joined JPMorgan's Tokenized Collateral Network (TCN) The growing global adoption of cryptocurrencies and their potential use as reserve assets suggests a promising future for their role in the greater financial sector. The European Union passed the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, which provides unified crypto regulations for all adhered nations. While investors are slowly mobilizing toward a more widespread crypto adoption, educational barriers remain. Only 22% of respondents correctly identified a private key as the critical tool for managing cryptocurrency. Only 9% reported knowing staking’s role in blockchain ecosystems. Bridging this knowledge gap will be crucial for institutional involvement in crypto to continue.
