Over half of wealthy Asian investors plan to increase their crypto exposure in the next few years, with 6 in 10 high-net-worth individuals in Asia ready to boost their crypto allocations based on a positive outlook. A survey of 270 individuals in ten APAC countries found 90% see digital assets as crucial for long-term wealth preservation.

The findings also showed that 87% of Asian HNWIs already hold crypto, with half having more than 10% in their portfolios. The average allocation is around 17%, and 80% of active investors reported holdings in blockchain tokens like Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana. The key reason for investing, according to 56% of respondents, is portfolio diversification.

Sygnum’s APAC HNWI Report 2025 indicates a shift towards crypto as an institutional wealth management product, rather than just a speculative asset. The survey also highlighted that 87% of investors would request their private bank or adviser to offer crypto services, if available through regulated partners. Asia’s crypto regulations are fostering stronger institutional involvement, with specific and deliberate regulations in countries like Singapore and Hong Kong. These regulations are seen as institution-building efforts to ensure higher standards for service providers.
