“Regulation concerns have increased, although far few expect political blockers and a government ban. This suggests investors see regulation being the solution rather than an outright ban,’ the report noted.

“Digital assets weighting in portfolios have risen from their survey lows to represent 1.1% of portfolios, up from the October survey where they were just 0.7%,” the report by CoinShares said.

The report said that investors' key reasons for investing in digital assets are both speculative and exposure to distributed ledger technology.
