In 2025, the cryptocurrency market will usher in a structural turning point: institutional investors have become the absolute main force, while retail investors have cooled significantly. Aishwary Gupta, global head of payments and real assets at Polygon Labs, pointed out in a recent interview that institutional funds now account for about 95% of the overall inflow of cryptocurrencies, and the proportion of retail investors is only 5%-6%, and market dominance has changed significantly. He explained that the institutional pivot is not driven by emotions, but is a natural result of the maturation of infrastructure. Asset management giants, including BlackRock, Apollo, and Hamilton Lane, are allocating 1%-2% of their portfolios to digital assets, accelerating their layout through ETFs and on-chain tokenization products. Gupta cited Polygon's cooperation cases as examples, including JPMorgan Chase's testing of DeFi transactions under the supervision of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Ondo's tokenized treasury bond project, and AMINA Bank's regulated staking, all of which show that public chains have been able to meet the compliance and auditing needs of traditional finance.
