Bybit's Q3 2025 Asset Allocation Report Shows Shift From Stablecoins to Altcoins

Bybit's Q3 2025 Asset Allocation Report

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, recently released its asset allocation report for the third quarter of 2025. The findings reveal a significant reduction in stablecoin holdings, with investors increasingly reallocating their assets to Solana (SOL), XRP, and various other altcoins.

Key Highlights

The report notes that investors continue to hold approximately $1 in Bitcoin for every $3 overall. Notably, Ether holdings have risen by 20% since the last report, while XRP has established itself as the third largest cryptocurrency outside of stablecoins.

The concentration of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) within non-stablecoin assets has decreased from 58.8% in May 2025 to 55.7% by August 2025. This drop is primarily due to an increased allocation toward altcoins. The third quarter of 2025 witnessed a strategic pivot away from stablecoins towards SOL, XRP, and other dynamic crypto assets that offer higher growth potential.

Investors are particularly optimistic about Solana, which has reached its highest holdings of the year. Many believe that the treasury strategies successfully applied to BTC and ETH will also be extended to SOL.

Furthermore, the primary beneficiaries of the reduction in stablecoin levels have been decentralized exchange tokens, followed by level 1 and level 2 tokens, as well as real-world asset tokens. Surprisingly, meme tokens have shown little change, while gold-backed tokens remain a minority in the market.

Institutional Interest in Altcoins

The Q3 2025 report emphasizes a growing interest among investors toward altcoins, with stablecoin reserves being redistributed into higher-growth assets. Particularly, institutions have notably reduced their liquid reserves to leverage current market dynamics, confirming Bitcoin and Ether as central pillars within portfolios.

The rising prominence of SOL, XRP, and decentralized exchange tokens signals a broader diversification strategy within the digital asset market, indicating a shifting landscape where investors seek higher yields.

For those interested in the detailed findings, the report can be downloaded from Bybit's educational platform. Bybit is committed to fostering an ecosystem that encourages innovation and accessibility, bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi).
