CoinShares Survey Shows Fund Managers' Digital Asset Allocation Rises to 1.3%

CoinShares' October 2026 survey report on digital asset fund managers reveals that the average allocation of digital assets in respondents' portfolios increased from 1.2% in July to 1.3%. Investors are shifting from stocks and bonds to alternative assets such as commodities and digital assets, rather than cash. Although the number of respondents who find digital asset valuations attractive has increased, client demand has noticeably declined. The motivation for diversification rose to 40%, while speculation dropped to fifth place, accounting for less than 9%. Bitcoin is viewed as the asset with the best growth prospects, making up 47% of respondents' holdings, while preferences for altcoins have shifted towards tokens like Hyperliquid, SUI, and Uniswap, with slightly improved expectations for Ethereum and Solana. In terms of risks, respondents who have invested believe volatility remains the biggest risk, which CoinShares attributes to Bitcoin's 50% drawdown over the past 12 months, and regulatory concerns remain high due to the failure of the CLARITY Act to pass. The proportion of respondents who believe the Federal Reserve has made policy errors has decreased due to rising inflation in the U.S. and interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. This survey included 28 respondents managing approximately $642 billion in assets.
