Sygnum Asia Pacific High Net Worth Individual Survey: 87% of respondents already hold cryptocurrency, with an average allocation of around 17%

BlockBeats News, December 11th, according to the "2025 Asia-Pacific HNWI Report" released by Sygnum, 60% of surveyed Asia-Pacific High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) are prepared to increase their cryptocurrency allocation based on a strong outlook for the cryptocurrency over the next two to five years. The survey covered 270 HNWIs (with investable assets exceeding $1 million) and professional investors with over ten years of experience in ten countries across the Asia-Pacific region (mainly focused in Singapore, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand).

The survey revealed that 87% of surveyed Asia-Pacific HNWIs already hold cryptocurrency, with about half of them having an allocation of over 10%, and an average portfolio allocation of around 17%.

80% of the respondents stated they hold blockchain protocol tokens such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. According to 56% of the respondents, the most common reason for investing in cryptocurrency is portfolio diversification.

The survey results also showed that as many as 90% of the surveyed HNWIs believe that digital assets are "crucial for long-term wealth preservation and estate planning, rather than purely for speculation."

Sygnum Co-Founder Gerald Goh stated: "The 17% allocation figure indicates that the mindset of HNWIs is significantly different from the 'get rich quick' mentality of 2017. These individuals are not speculators—they are long-term investors with a horizon of 10-20 years, focusing on intergenerational wealth preservation. Digital assets have now firmly integrated into the private wealth ecosystem of the Asia-Pacific region. Despite short-term macro uncertainty, we still see adoption accelerating, primarily driven by strategic portfolio diversification, intergenerational wealth planning, and demand for institutional-grade products."
