Survey: Crypto Investors Place Greater Emphasis on Infrastructure Rather Than DeFi

PANews February 4 News, according to Cointelegraph, a survey report released by the CfC St. Moritz Digital Asset Conference shows that seasoned crypto investors and executives are shifting their capital allocation focus from decentralized finance (DeFi) to core infrastructure. The survey was conducted in January and included 242 institutional investors, founders, executives, and regulatory representatives. The survey indicates that 85% of respondents prioritize infrastructure as their top investment area, surpassing DeFi, compliance, and cybersecurity. Respondents pointed out that market depth and settlement capability are key bottlenecks hindering larger-scale institutional capital entry, with liquidity shortages seen as the industry’s most urgent risk. Although about 84% of respondents believe the macro environment is favorable for crypto growth, most think that the current market infrastructure is still insufficient to support large-scale capital inflows.
