Key Takeaways:
- Institutional Investment: Eric Demuth, CEO of Bitpanda, notes that institutional investors are embedding capital in crypto, generating “sticky money” in the market.

In recent discussions at Consensus Hong Kong, Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth explained that the ongoing transformation in U.S. policy is catalyzing a fundamental shift in the crypto landscape, redirecting it from quick speculation to more stable, long-term investments.
Demuth emphasized that the 2024 market surge is unlike the retail-driven cycle of 2021; it is characterized by the entry of institutional capital, which is perceived as “sticky money.”
Bitpanda, one of Europe’s largest crypto exchanges, is adapting to these evolving regulations while also broadening its B2B services by licensing its infrastructure to banks across Europe and the Middle East.
