Survey finds 6 in 10 of Asia’s rich plan to ramp up crypto buying
Six out of ten wealthy Asian investors plan to increase their cryptocurrency allocations over the next few years, viewing digital assets as crucial for long-term wealth preservation.Summary
A recent Sygnum APAC HNWI Report 2025 surveyed 270 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) across ten APAC countries, finding that 6 in 10 plan to increase their crypto allocations over the next two to five years. The survey revealed a significant shift in perception, with 90% of HNWIs viewing digital assets as important for long-term wealth preservation and legacy planning, rather than just speculation. Currently, 87% of surveyed Asian HNWIs already hold crypto, with an average portfolio allocation around 17%, and nearly half hold over 10%. Sygnum co-founder Gerald Goh noted this indicates a long-term investment psychology focused on intergenerational wealth transfer. Furthermore, 80% of active investors hold blockchain protocol tokens, and 87% would ask their private bank to offer crypto services through regulated partners, suggesting growing institutional integration driven by specific, deliberate regulatory frameworks in regions like Singapore.
