According to PANews, a report by Sygnum titled '2025 Asia-Pacific High Net-Worth Individuals Report' reveals that 60% of surveyed high-net-worth individuals in Asia are planning to increase their cryptocurrency allocations over the next two to five years.

The findings indicate that a significant majority (90%) of these individuals view digital assets as crucial for long-term wealth preservation and estate planning, rather than mere speculation. Currently, 87% of the surveyed high-net-worth individuals in Asia already hold cryptocurrencies, with about half allocating more than 10% of their portfolios to these assets. On average, the portfolio allocation to cryptocurrencies is approximately 17%. Furthermore, 87% of investors expressed a preference for regulated partners to provide cryptocurrency services, prompting them to request private banks or financial advisors to enhance such offerings. Additionally, 80% of active investors reported holding blockchain protocol tokens like BTC, ETH, and SOL.
