81% of firms budgeted for digital asset infrastructure this year

Eighty-one percent of companies have allocated budget this year to build digital asset infrastructure, according to a survey conducted by Fireblocks. Among all institutions surveyed, 53% are investing more than $1 million annually, but only 16% have built services through to the operational stage. The share of companies that have already launched tokenized-asset-related services stood at 11%. Respondents cited a shortage of specialized talent and integration issues with existing systems, rather than regulation, as the main barriers to adoption. The survey was conducted in January.
