Sygnum Asia Pacific High Net Worth Individual Survey: 87% of respondents already hold cryptocurrency, with an average allocation of around 17%; 60% of respondents are prepared to increase their cryptocurrency allocation.

**December 11** Sixty percent of surveyed Asian high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) plan to boost their cryptocurrency allocations, per Sygnum’s 2025 Asia-Pacific HNWIs Report—driven by a bullish outlook for digital assets over the next two to five years. The survey polled 270 HNWIs (with investable assets exceeding $1 million) and seasoned professional investors (10+ years of experience) across 10 Asia-Pacific markets, with heavy concentration in Singapore, plus Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand. Key findings: - 87% of respondents already hold digital assets; nearly half have allocated over 10% of their portfolios to crypto, with an average allocation of roughly 17%. - 80% report holding blockchain protocol tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. - 56% cite portfolio diversification as the top reason for crypto investments. - 90% view digital assets as “critical for long-term wealth preservation and estate planning—not just pure speculation.” Sygnum co-founder Gerald Goh noted: “That 17% allocation signals a stark shift from the 2017 ‘get-rich-quick’ mindset. These aren’t speculators—they’re 10-to-20-year visionary investors focused on intergenerational wealth transfer. Digital assets have fully embedded themselves in the Asia-Pacific private wealth ecosystem. Even amid short-term macro uncertainties, adoption is accelerating, fueled by strategic diversification, intergenerational planning, and demand for institutional-grade products.”
