Institutional investors and wealth managers anticipate a more favorable regulatory environment and increased growth for digital assets under President Donald Trump’s administration, according to research by Nickel Digital Asset Management. The London-based digital asset hedge fund manager surveyed industry professionals across the U.S., UK, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Brazil, and the UAE, managing around $1.1 trillion in assets.

Nickel Digital shared the findings in a press release published on March 5, revealing strong confidence in Trump’s administration fostering industry growth. Investors expect key regulatory changes and appointments to drive the sector’s expansion. The survey found:

88% expect more favourable regulation of the sector and 92% believe President Trump’s administration will have a positive effect on the digital asset regulatory landscape.

Additionally, “more than four out of five say the appointment of David Sacks as a dedicated Crypto Czar will be very or quite important for the growth of the sector, the study with organisations invested in digital assets found,” the firm noted.

The research further highlighted the role of U.S. government support, with “institutional investors and wealth managers recognizing the role that a supportive U.S. government plays in the digital assets world – almost all (95%) say the U.S. government being positive is important to the development of the sector with 27% saying it is very important.”

Despite optimism, not all election-related effects have been positive, as 55% of respondents reported increased market volatility, and 36% specifically noted volatility in digital asset markets. Additionally, 42% observed a delay in U.S. investment ahead of the election, while 41% saw similar hesitancy among international investors.

Anatoly Crachilov, CEO and founding partner at Nickel Digital, emphasized the election’s influence, stating:

The U.S. presidential election was billed by some as the crypto election and that has been recognized by institutional investors and wealth managers.

He also pointed to immediate regulatory shifts, stating: “The immediate impact is expected to come in the shape of more favorable regulation which we have already started to witness as the SEC drops cases against Coinbase, Robinhood, Uniswap and more.”
