Advisors Build Crypto Allocations Despite Market Stall
While crypto markets remain stagnant, financial advisors and long-term investors are quietly increasing their digital asset allocations. This trend signals growing institutional comfort with cryptocurrency as an asset class.
Key developments:
This quiet accumulation phase contrasts with previous cycles driven by retail speculation. The focus on sustainable, long-term allocations suggests institutional investors view current market conditions as an opportunity rather than a deterrent.
The trend builds on earlier institutional momentum, with surveys from late 2024 showing planned increases in crypto exposure among institutional players.
š USDC Expands to Injective
Circle's USDC stablecoin and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) are now operational on Injective, a blockchain optimized for trading and DeFi applications.
Key Features:
Network Growth: With this integration, USDC now operates on 34 blockchains and transfers across 23 chains via CCTP, creating over 500 transaction routes.
This follows a similar expansion to Pharos Network in late April, which added support for real-world asset (RWA) applications and included a $10 million incubation program.
