A survey into the demand and advancement of digital assets in the European funds industry is launched today by Funds Europe in partnership with Paris-based asset servicing firm Caceis.

The survey probes attitudes to crypto assets such as bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well as tokenized fund shares as we seek to understand how fund managers and investors across Europe are engaging with digital assets in 2025 . The results of the survey will be published in a report to be published later this year.

Digital assets have in recent years advanced beyond the proof of concept stage and are increasingly being taken seriously by mainstream asset managers in the public-markets arena. Franklin Templeton recently tokenised the first Ucits fund in Luxembourg, for example.

Our survey is aimed at investors and investment managers. Respondents are asked for their perceptions about the success of this market, and also asked a range of deeper, more technical questions about the infrastructure that lies behind digital assets and which is vital for enabling the funds industry to become more widely tokenised.
