80% of institutions willing to invest in crypto, says Nomura

Eighty percent of institutional investors are willing to allocate 2-5% of their assets to cryptocurrency and view the current market as a preparatory phase before full-scale entry, Japanese financial group Nomura Holdings, Inc. said in a recent report. According to DL News, the report states that institutions are more interested in yield-generating strategies—such as staking, lending, and stablecoin utilization—than in simple price appreciation. Furthermore, 65% of respondents see crypto as a diversification tool comparable to traditional financial assets. The report identified stablecoins as the primary growth driver, predicting that regulatory clarity for stablecoins issued by major financial institutions will be the key to unlocking significant institutional capital inflows.
