# Fund Managers Still See Bitcoin as Most Attractive Crypto Asset, Survey Shows

Fund managers operating digital asset-related funds continue to rate Bitcoin’s growth prospects as the most attractive among cryptocurrencies, new survey data indicates. Additionally, positive sentiment towards Solana has increased, resulting in significant expansion of exposure to this asset.

On October 25, James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, shared the results of a Digital Asset Fund Manager Survey conducted for the first time since the launch of the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF. The survey results were posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Butterfill reported that when asked about which digital asset they believed had the “most attractive growth outlook,” 41% of respondents selected Bitcoin, with Ethereum coming in second. Combined, Bitcoin and Ethereum were chosen by 72% of respondents.

While Ethereum maintained its position as the second most attractive digital asset, the number of managers favoring it declined. Conversely, the survey saw an increase in managers endorsing Solana. Responses for other digital assets showed little change.

The survey also indicated that the proportion of digital assets in portfolios rose from 1.3% to 3%, hitting the highest level since the survey began in 2021.

Although the proportion of Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings among currently invested crypto assets has decreased, exposure to Solana has expanded considerably. Notably, none of the survey participants reported holding XRP.
