The term “We are still early” remains a popular mood in the crypto community in 2025, which suggests that despite Bitcoin’s (BTC) The price that surpasses $ 100,000 is the total adoption of digital assets still in its infant.
Morgan Stalney’s recent study of financial professionals confirms this feeling. The investment bank giant examined more than 500 summer trainees in North America from 10 to 27 June and 147 summer trainees in Europe from June 26 to July 7.
The study revealed that only 18% of trainees own or use cryptocurrencies, which increases from 13% the year before. Meanwhile, the percentage of trainees interested in digital assets has risen to 26% from 23%. Meanwhile, 55% still don’t care about digital assets, a majority, although the number has gone from 63% last year.
The widespread lack of interest seems significant, especially considering that BTC has already been accepted on Wall Street through the introduction of ETFs.
The 11 seats BTC ETFs have collected $ 53.7 billion in investor wealth since their debut last January, according to the data source Farside Investors. Ether ETFs have recorded an influx of $ 12.4 billion. Companies quickly add both assets to their balance.
BTC’s price has surpassed $ 100,000 this year and gained a foothold in institutional investor portfolios. Ether hit a record height of over $ 4,800 on Friday.
More open to AI
The study revealed a clear adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) Of future economic leaders with the financing industry, with 96% of US trainees and 91% of their European colleagues reporting the use of technology at least occasionally.
Consensus is that AI is effective where almost all respondents agree that they “save me time” and are “easy to use”. However, 88% of the trainees also had a nuanced view, as technology still “needs improvement of accuracy.”
The widespread adoption is in line with the mood of Wall Street, where the MAG 7 companies are expected to spend $ 650 billion in capital costs and research and development this year.
Trillion dollar humanoids market
The study revealed that most trainees are interested in owning humanoids or sophisticated machines designed with a human -like shape and capacities, but are careful with their influence on society.
Over 60% of US trainees and 69% of European trainees expressed interest in having a humanoid at home, with both regions believing the robots will have “viable use cases” and replace many human jobs.
Still, only 36% of US trainees and 24% of Europeans agreed that humanoids will have a positive impact on society.
Morgan Stanley estimates that the Humanoid Market could surpass $ 5 trillion by 2050, including sales from supply chains and networks for repair, maintenance and support.
“Although humanoids are still under development, there may be more than 1 billion in 2050, with 90% used for industrial and commercial purposes,” the investment bank giant said in a May report.
