Diversification, Not Hype, Now Drives Digital Asset Investing: Sygnum

Sygnum, a Swiss digital asset bank, reports that growing familiarity with digital assets is shifting investor behavior, making diversification the primary investment motive, surpassing speculative bets on long-term trends. Digital assets are increasingly viewed as legitimate portfolio diversifiers, leading investors toward discretionary mandates adaptable to market changes. Bitcoin's store-of-value narrative remains strong due to inflation and de-dollarization concerns, while altcoins have faced significant value erosion. Investors are favoring actively managed and hybrid strategies over single-token exposure, showing caution ahead of an expected volatile 2026. Regulatory clarity, surpassing volatility, is now the main barrier to adoption, particularly in Europe, with security and custody remaining high priorities for traditional investors. The survey polled 1,000 experienced investors across 43 countries, mainly in Europe and Asia.
