Hedge funds plan to significantly increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies by 2026, according to a new survey, signaling a big vote of confidence in digital assets after recent huge market declines and plans for punitive new capital rules.

17% of the respondents expected to have more than 10% in crypto

A survey of 100 hedge fund chiefs around the world by fund administrator Intertrust found that executives will hold an average of 7.2 percent of their assets in cryptocurrencies in five years.

If replicated across the industry, the total size of the hedge fund industry could add up to about $312 billion in cryptocurrency assets, according to estimates from Intertrust's Preqin data group. Seventeen percent of respondents expected to be more than 10 percent in crypto.

Some institutions have already decided to hold cryptocurrencies

While some institutions are debating whether to buy or enhance their crypto holdings at this time, others have already done so.

Perhaps it all started with Paul Tudor Jones III, a millionaire hedge fund manager. He was among the first to openly endorse BTC during the COVID-19 pandemic because he saw it as a suitable safe haven instrument against rising US inflation.

He allocated up to 3% of his portfolio in BTC at the time, but recently said he wants 5% in the primary cryptocurrency. Stan Druckenmiller, another legend of the old financial markets, echoed his words shortly after.

Earlier this year, Goldman Sachs filed for a Bitcoin ETF, while JPMorgan is reportedly developing an actively managed BTC fund.

North American funds expect to have more exposure than European funds

While the future of crypto regulation is unclear, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision stated this week that it should be subject to the strictest bank capital regulations of any asset.

The survey by Intertrust, whose respondents include global CFOs of funds managing an average of $7.2 billion in assets, also showed that all executives surveyed in North America, Europe and the United Kingdom expect to have at least 1 percent of their portfolio in crypto.

It appears that North America will most likely have greater exposure to cryptocurrencies than other countries surveyed. North American funds expect an average exposure of 10.6 percent, while those in the UK and Europe expect an average of 6.8 percent.
