Institutions Prioritize Infrastructure Over Bitcoin Price

Joey Garcia, Chief Strategy, Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Officer at Xapo Bank, says that institutional adoption of Bitcoin is no longer solely dependent on its price. Instead, institutions are evaluating whether the underlying financial infrastructure can support long-term participation.

The conversation around digital assets has become more structured and demanding, with a focus on compliance, custody, and regulatory clarity.

Garcia pointed to growing crypto involvement from major Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, which shows that investors increasingly view Bitcoin as a legitimate strategic asset.
