Quick Take
  • A Paxos survey of over 400 fintech decision-makers reveals 90% consider regulation their primary concern for digital assets.
  • Crypto trading follows as the second priority for 61% of respondents.
  • The dual focus on regulation and trading indicates the industry is preparing for a new phase of mainstream, compliant adoption.

A 2025 Digital Asset Adoption Report from Paxos, which surveyed over 400 decision-makers in the fintech sector, found that regulatory clarity is the industry's foremost priority. An overwhelming 90% of respondents identified regulation as their top concern, underscoring a collective desire for established rules of the road.

This sentiment reflects a significant maturation of the digital asset space. The industry is shifting from a phase of rapid, often unregulated, innovation toward building sustainable and compliant financial infrastructure. The findings suggest that firms are actively preparing for a future where digital assets are a fully integrated part of the financial system, which requires clear legal and regulatory frameworks.

While compliance is the main focus, growth ambitions remain strong. The survey also revealed that 61% of these leaders view crypto trading as the next most important area, signaling that the demand for digital asset exposure and services continues to be a major driver. This dual focus on robust regulation and expanded trading capabilities indicates the market is gearing up for its next chapter: mainstream adoption led by established financial players operating within clear guardrails.
