[Sygnum Survey: 60% of High-Net-Worth Investors in APAC Plan to Increase Crypto Asset Allocation, with an Average Portfolio Share of 17%] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Sygnum has released the 'APAC HNWI Report 2025,' which reveals that 60% of surveyed high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in Asia plan to further increase their allocation to crypto assets over the next 2–5 years. The report covers ten APAC markets, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand, surveying 270 investors with over $1 million in investable assets and more than 10 years of investment experience. The findings show that 87% of respondents already hold crypto assets, with nearly half allocating more than 10% of their portfolios to crypto, and an average allocation of approximately 17%. Meanwhile, 90% of high-net-worth investors believe that digital assets are critical for long-term wealth preservation and inheritance, rather than merely speculative tools. Gerald Goh, Co-Founder and APAC CEO of Sygnum, stated that digital assets have become deeply integrated into the private wealth management systems of the APAC region, with motivations shifting from short-term speculation to strategic asset diversification and demand for institutional-grade products. Additionally, 80% of respondents hold mainstream protocol tokens such as BTC, ETH, and SOL, while approximately 56% cited 'diversifying portfolio risk' as the primary reason for allocating to crypto assets. On the regulatory front, Goh noted that while the regulatory frameworks in Singapore and Hong Kong are stricter, they provide clear standards for custody, operations, and investor protection, enabling service providers that meet these requirements to achieve stronger institutional capabilities.
