In a recent survey, more than half of affluent investors in Asia indicated that they plan to increase their allocation to cryptocurrencies in their portfolios over the next few years.
The Sygnum 2025 Asia-Pacific High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) report shows that 60% of the surveyed high net worth individuals in Asia are prepared to increase their cryptocurrency allocation, based on an optimistic outlook for the market over the next two to five years.
The survey targeted 270 high net worth individuals (with investable assets exceeding $1 million) and professional investors with over ten years of experience across ten countries in the Asia-Pacific region, primarily focusing on Singapore, while also including Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand.
The results also revealed that 90% of the surveyed high net worth individuals believe that digital assets are "very important for long-term wealth preservation and family legacy planning, not just as speculative tools."
Gerald Goh, co-founder and CEO of Sygnum Asia-Pacific, stated, "Digital assets are now firmly embedded in the private wealth ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region."
This marks a fundamental shift of cryptocurrencies from speculative assets to institutional wealth management products.
The survey showed that 87% of the surveyed high net worth individuals already hold cryptocurrencies, with about half of their portfolios having a cryptocurrency allocation exceeding 10%. The average portfolio allocation is approximately 17%.
87% of investors indicated that they would request their private banks or advisors to increase related services if cryptocurrency services were offered through regulated partners.
Meanwhile, 80% of active investors reported holding blockchain protocol tokens, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). According to 56% of respondents, the most common reason for investing is to achieve portfolio diversification.
Goh noted that the 17% portfolio allocation indicates that high net worth individuals have a "different mindset" compared to the "get-rich-quick" mentality of 2017.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, he stated, "These individuals are not speculators—they are investors with 10 to 20-year investment horizons, considering intergenerational wealth transfer."
When asked whether cryptocurrency regulation in Asia is stricter, Goh believes that cryptocurrency regulation in Asia is more "specific and intentional" compared to other jurisdictions.
"The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is very thoughtful in its regulation. Yes, they have tightened licensing requirements, increased capital buffers, and restricted access for retail investors. But they have also clearly defined custody standards, operational requirements, and investor protection measures."
Goh said, "What appears to be 'strict' is actually building a rigorous institutional framework. The trade-off is that there are fewer service providers that can meet the standards—but those that can are indeed at an institutional level." He also added that Hong Kong is now following a similar path.
