Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) Chairman Martin Graham spoke with Proactive about the growing pace of institutional adoption of crypto assets and the company’s strategic direction for the year ahead.
Graham said: “Crypto is now an institutional asset class,” emphasizing that not only is institutional investment increasing, but the rate of growth is accelerating. He highlighted the surge in crypto-based ETPs, with total assets in these products reaching around $200 billion. Bitcoin ETPs have seen an increase of $60 billion in the last 18 months, while Ethereum ETPs have increased by $10 billion in the last three months alone.
Graham also discussed the growing role of DeFi, particularly in supporting yield-generating regulated products for institutions. More than half of institutions are now involved in crypto lending, he noted, with the total value locked in DeFi products increasing by 70% year-over-year.
Regarding market dynamics, Graham said the volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum was largely due to macroeconomic factors. He compared Bitcoin’s current role to that of gold as a store of value and protection against uncertainty. He added that Ethereum enables new use cases, including tokenization, DeFi protocols, and layer two applications that improve the scalability of the blockchain.
Looking ahead, Graham outlined Fineqia’s growth strategy for the next 12-18 months, which includes launching more yield-focused products, expanding real-world tokenized assets, and increasing assets under management. The company also plans to list on other European stock exchanges to expand its investor base.
