Bitcoin Price Needs to ‘Be Consistently Over $100,000’ Before Pension Schemes Come Under Pressure to Invest
Level of Advice Pension Professionals Want on Digital and Crypto Assets Is Set to Increase
Just over four out of ten (42%) professional investors believe the price of Bitcoin needs to consistently be above $100,000 before pension schemes will come under pressure from the investors they represent to start investing in crypto and digital assets.
This is according to new research from London-based Nickel Digital Asset Management (Nickel), Europe’s largest regulated and award-winning digital assets hedge fund manager. It interviewed 200 professional investors from across seven countries who collectively manage around $329 billion in assets and found 13% say Bitcoin needs to consistently reach $50,000 for pension funds to face pressure, and 28% believe the figure is above $75,000. Just 3% believe pension scheme allocation to digital assets is not dependent on what price Bitcoin reaches.
