A CoinShares survey of 2,230 affluent investors across seven economies found that a majority already hold digital assets, with crypto making up about 10% of their portfolios. Ownership rates vary from 54% in Sweden to approximately 70% in the US, UK, Germany, and Switzerland. Most existing investors plan to increase their exposure in 2026.
Despite investor interest, many financial advisers remain cautious. About 40% of respondents in Switzerland, France, the US, and Germany described their advisers as overly conservative regarding digital assets. Meanwhile, OKX has secured new funding at a valuation of $25 billion, with participation from firms including Ripple, Circle, and SC Ventures.
OKX and ICE have filed with the SEC to launch a tokenized stock trading platform. Separately, Strategy has shifted its capital allocation, spending $176.3 million to repurchase 1.77 million STRC shares last week, which is over six times the $28.7 million spent on acquiring 334 Bitcoin.
Strategy now holds 848,000 BTC. The company has also proposed a shift to daily dividend payments for its STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD shares, with a shareholder vote scheduled for October 28. If approved, daily dividends for STRC would commence in November.
