Goldman Sachs: Regulation to Spark Next Wave of Institutional Crypto Adoption
Goldman Sachs told clients that clearer regulation and the expansion of real-world applications beyond simple trading are laying the groundwork for a new phase of institutional crypto adoption. The bank pointed to compliance frameworks, improved custody solutions and the rise of tokenized real-world assets as factors that could make digital assets more investible for cautious institutions.
If institutions respond, the industry could see deeper liquidity, a broader range of regulated products and more robust risk management practices — all signs of market maturation. Goldman’s view reinforces the idea that regulatory clarity, paired with practical on-ramps, may unlock significant capital flows as banks, asset managers and custodians build compliant offerings to meet institutional demand.
