According to ChainCatcher, Northern Trust shared the results of a recent poll of 100 investment professionals in London, of which 34% have already invested in digital assets or plan to invest soon.

The survey found that two-thirds believed private assets would benefit the most. The next most promising groups were commodities and real estate (53%), followed by money market funds (36%).

Pete Cherecwich, Northern Trust’s newly appointed chief operating officer, said the findings highlight both opportunities and challenges as clients meet their data needs through the convergence of emerging digital assets and advanced technologies.
