Seventy-five Percent of Asian Wealthy Individuals Allocate Funds to Cryptocurrency
Approximately 76% of family offices and high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) in Asia possess crypto-assets. The primary sectors of interest for private investors in this region are DeFi, AI, and DePIN.
As reported by Aspen Digital, in 2024, 76% of affluent individuals in Asia have invested in digital assets, with an additional 18% intending to do so in the near term. Analysts indicate that the interest in cryptocurrencies within the region has increased by approximately 20% since 2022.
The survey revealed that the majority of participants who own digital assets allocated at least 5% of their overall investment portfolio to them this year, with some investing over 10%.
Significant areas of interest for Asian investors include:
- distributed finance (67%);
- decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) and artificial intelligence (61%);
- blockchain infrastructure (50%);
- tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) (47%).
The report also highlighted that the increasing interest in cryptocurrencies among Asian investors is driven by the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Indeed, 53% of participants accessed digital assets via BTC ETFs. About 31% of respondents expressed expectations for Bitcoin to reach a price of $100,000 or higher by the end of 2024.
The Aspen Digital survey included 80 Asian family offices and HNWIs managing assets of at least $10 million, with roughly 20% of respondents overseeing more than $500 million.
Affluent individuals from Hong Kong and Singapore, for whom Visa has issued a specialized crypto card, exhibited the highest interest in investing in digital assets. Institutional investors globally also recognize the potential of crypto investments, as evidenced by the survey conducted among Goldman Sachs’ corporate clients.
