The phrase “we are still early” remains a popular feeling in the cryptographic community in 2025, which suggests that despite Bitcoin’s (BTC) Price exceeding $ 100,000, the general adoption of digital assets is still in your childhood.
Morgan Stalney’s recent financial professionals confirms this feeling. The investment bank giant surveyed more than 500 summer interns in North America from June 10 to 27 and 147 summer interns in Europe from June 26 to July 7.
The survey revealed that only 18% of the interns have or use cryptocurrencies, increasing from 13% of the previous year. Meanwhile, the percentage of interns interested in digital assets has increased to 26% from 23%. Meanwhile, 55% still do not care digital assets, a majority, although the number has retreated 63% last year.
The lack of generalized interest seems significant, especially considering that BTC has already obtained acceptance on Wall Street through the introduction of ETF.
The 11 ETC of BTC Spot have accumulated $ 53.7 billion in investors from their debut in January last year, according to the data source investors. The ETFs of Ether have registered an entrance of $ 12.4 billion. Corporations are quickly adding both assets to their balances.
The price of BTC has exceeded $ 100,000 this year, winning a point of support in institutional investor portfolios. Ether reached a record of more than $ 4,800 on Friday.
More open to AI
The survey revealed a clear adoption of artificial intelligence. (AI) For future leaders of the financial industry, with 96% of American interns and 91% of their European counterparts that report the use of technology at least occasionally.
The consensus is that AI is effective, and almost all respondents agree that “they save me time” and they are “easy to use.” However, 88% of the interns also had a nuanced opinion, believing that technology still “needs a precision improvement.”
The generalized adoption is consistent with the feeling on Wall Street, where MAG 7 companies are expected to spend $ 650 billion on capital and research and development expenses this year.
Billion dollars humanoid market
The survey revealed that most interns are interested in having humanoids or sophisticated machines designed with a human form and abilities, but are cautious about their impact on society.
More than 60% of American interns and 69% of European interns expressed interest in having a humanoid at home, and both regions believed that robots will have “viable use cases” and replace many human works.
Even so, only 36% of American interns and 24% of Europeans agreed that humanoids will have a positive impact on society.
Morgan Stanley estimates that the humanoid market could exceed $ 5 billion by 2050, including sales chains and networks for repair, maintenance and support.
“Although humanoids are still under development, there could be more than one billion by 2050, with 90% used for industrial and commercial purposes,” said investment bank giant in a report in May.
