Institutions name cryptocurrencies they plan to buy

  • Institutional investors continue to believe in the growth potential of cryptocurrencies and are therefore willing to invest in them.
  • The top two positions among the five most preferred cryptocurrencies for investment are, unsurprisingly, Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The results of a study conducted by Ernst & Young provide insight into which cryptocurrencies institutions plan to invest in during 2026.

The firm surveyed 351 decision-makers among large investors, including asset owners, private bank employees, venture funds, family offices, asset management firms, and hedge funds. It was found that 90.3% of them have already invested in digital assets.

Among those who have already invested:

  • 40% allocated 1–5% of their capital to cryptocurrencies;
  • 29% allocated less than 1%;
  • 31% allocated at least 6%.

In 2026, respondents plan to increase their crypto holdings and intend to purchase:

  • Bitcoin (94% of respondents);
  • Ethereum (90%);
  • Solana (SOL) (38%);
  • Chainlink (LINK) (26%);
  • XRP (25%).


Cryptocurrencies held by surveyed institutional investors in January 2026 (light blue bars) and those they plan to purchase (blue bars).

The reason many respondents want to invest in cryptocurrencies is their high growth potential. This is supported by the fact that 74% expect digital asset prices to rise over the next 12 months, 22% anticipate sideways movement, and only 4% predict a bearish trend.

Additionally, 60% of institutional investors included cryptocurrencies among the top three most attractive investment instruments in terms of risk-to-reward ratio.
