JPMorgan Turns Bullish on Digital Assets for 2025

JPMorgan strategists, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, have upgraded digital assets to Overweight, citing a slate of bullish catalysts—from corporate Bitcoin buyers to evolving regulatory frameworks—that could underpin returns through the rest of 2025.

Institutional Adoption Accelerates

• MicroStrategy and peers continue to add Bitcoin to their treasuries, signaling confidence from corporate balance sheets.

• State reserves: Several U.S. states are moving to include Bitcoin in strategic stockpiles, broadening official demand.

• Crypto derivatives & stablecoins: Pending regulatory progress is expected to unlock institutional participation in futures and fiat-backed tokens.

Regulatory Clarity and Return Potential

JPMorgan forecasts a 10% projected return for its digital-asset allocation over the next year—the highest among all alternative classes—as clarity around derivatives rules and stablecoin frameworks reduces execution risk.

Meanwhile, traditional investors are showing muted ETF inflows into other sectors, leaving room for systematic and hedge-fund flows to lift crypto markets.
