Majority of Institutional Traders Not Planning to Trade Crypto This Year, Says JPMorgan Survey

According to a recent survey by JPMorgan, over 70% of institutional traders have no plans to trade cryptocurrencies this year, despite an improving regulatory environment in the US. However, the percentage has decreased from 78% in 2024 to 71% in 2025. The survey also found that 16% planned to trade crypto this year, and 13% were already doing so, both figures being higher than in 2024. Respondents indicated that inflation and tariffs would have the biggest impact on markets in 2025, followed by escalating geopolitical tension, and 41% said market volatility was the biggest trading challenge.
