[Sygnum Asia-Pacific High Net Worth Individual Survey: 87% of respondents already hold cryptocurrencies, with an average allocation of approximately 17%; 60% of respondents plan to increase crypto allocations] BlockBeats News, December 11, according to Sygnum's '2025 Asia-Pacific High Net Worth Individual Report,' 60% of surveyed high net worth individuals (HNWIs) in Asia are planning to increase their cryptocurrency allocations, driven by a strong outlook for cryptocurrencies over the next two to five years. The survey covered 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 Singapore, as well as Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand. The survey revealed that 87% of surveyed Asian high net worth individuals already hold cryptocurrencies, with approximately half allocating more than 10% of their portfolios to crypto, and the average portfolio allocation being around 17%. 80% of respondents reported holding tokens from blockchain protocols such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. According to 56% of respondents, the most common reason for investing in cryptocurrencies is portfolio diversification. The survey also showed that as many as 90% of surveyed high net worth individuals believe digital assets are 'critical for long-term wealth preservation and legacy planning, rather than purely for speculation.' Sygnum Co-Founder Gerald Goh stated: 'The 17% allocation ratio indicates that the mindset of high net worth individuals has shifted significantly from the "get rich quick" mentality of 2017. These individuals are not speculators—they are investors with a long-term vision spanning 10-20 years, focused on intergenerational wealth transfer. Digital assets are now firmly integrated into the private wealth ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite short-term macroeconomic uncertainties, we continue to see accelerated adoption, driven primarily by strategic portfolio diversification, intergenerational wealth planning, and demand for institutional-grade products.'
