Crypto Still Seen as 'Risky' Among U.S. Investors Despite Ownership Surging 8x Since 2018: Survey
Cryptocurrency may be easier to buy than ever, but most Americans still want no part of it. A new Gallup survey found that just 14% of U.S. adults own crypto, a figure that has been growing but still represents a small slice of the investing public. The study, conducted in mid-June, revealed deep skepticism about cryptocurrencies. 60% of respondents said they have no interest in ever buying cryptocurrency, and just 17% admitted they're intrigued. Only 4% of respondents said they plan on buying crypto in the near future. Gallup also found that among U.S. investors owning more than $10,000 in stocks, bonds or mutual funds, 55% considered the asset class 'very risky.' Still, ownership rates skyrocketed from 2% in 2018 to 17%. This skepticism isn't surprising, despite the U.S. having a pro-crypto president and clearer regulations that have recently been rolling in. While the 2021 bull run ushered in extreme volatility and made crypto a mainstream topic, the subsequent brutal crypto winter, which saw many high-profile bankruptcies, such as FTX, as well as scams and exploits, soured retail investors' sentiment. Although crypto has since then seen institutional investors jumping into the market, helping it become more legitimate, many retail investors, burned by the past losses, are likely still staying vigilant. Four years ago, Gallup found that 6% of U.S. investors owned cryptocurrency. That figure has since risen but may be conservative, as a Fed survey revealed 12% ownership among U.S. investors. Diving deeper into the ownership, the demographic divide is stark. While one in four men aged 18 to 49 owns crypto, the survey found that ownership drops sharply among women and older adults. College graduates and high-income earners report above-average participation, but seniors and low-income households remain largely absent from the space, the survey shows. Knowledge gaps also persist. Nearly everyone surveyed had heard of crypto, but only 35% said they actually understood how it works. Familiarity was highest among younger men and the wealthier. Even among those who claim to understand crypto, most still call it a risky bet. Among U.S. investors, 64% see the asset class as 'very risky,' up from 60% in 2021. The survey found that about one in seven Americans owns crypto, while nearly six in 10 own stocks or real estate. Only 4% of adults said crypto is the best long-term investment.

SL Green Raises Over $1.0 Billion for Opportunistic Debt Fund
NEW YORK, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SL Green Realty Corp.

'We deeply appreciate the continued support of our partners as we now turn our focus to deploying capital into a robust pipeline of opportunities.' The fund is being actively deployed into investments sourced through long-standing sponsor and lender relationships, and proprietary networks. The fund seeks to provide both current income and capital appreciation through structured debt investments, while maintaining a focus on downside protection. The SLG Opportunistic Debt Fund will originate new loans and/or purchase existing loans, loan portfolios and controlling CMBS securities. About SL Green Realty Corp.

Positive week for OmniAb, Inc. (NASDAQ:OABI) institutional investors who lost 47% over the past year
Institutions' substantial holdings in OmniAb implies that they have significant influence over the company's share price 51% of the business is held by the top 11 shareholders Insiders have been buying lately We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Every investor in OmniAb, Inc. (NASDAQ:OABI) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. We can see that institutions own the lion's share in the company with 49% ownership. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. After a year of 47% losses, last week's 14% gain would be welcomed by institutional investors as a possible sign that returns might start trending higher. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about OmniAb. Check out our latest analysis for OmniAb Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. We can see that OmniAb does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at OmniAb's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. It looks like hedge funds own 6.0% of OmniAb shares. That worth noting, since hedge funds are often quite active investors, who may try to influence management. Many want to see value creation (and a higher share price) in the short term or medium term. Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is Avista Healthcare Partners with 13% of shares outstanding. With 6.6% and 6.0% of the shares outstanding respectively, Janus Henderson Group plc and Whitefort Capital Management, LP are the second and third largest shareholders. In addition, we found that Matthew Foehr, the CEO has 2.8% of the shares allocated to their name. Looking at the shareholder registry, we can see that 51% of the ownership is controlled by the top 11 shareholders, meaning that no single shareholder has a majority interest in the ownership. While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group. Shareholders would probably be interested to learn that insiders own shares in OmniAb, Inc.. It has a market capitalization of just US$236m, and insiders have US$12m worth of shares, in their own names. It is good to see some investment by insiders, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying. With a 27% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over OmniAb. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. With a stake of 13%, private equity firms could influence the OmniAb board. Some investors might be encouraged by this, since private equity are sometimes able to encourage strategies that help the market see the value in the company. Alternatively, those holders might be exiting the investment after taking it public. It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand OmniAb better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for OmniAb that you should be aware of. Ultimately the future is most important.
