APAC’s Wealth Elite Backs Crypto as Regulations Mature

[ed]

Asian HNWIs are increasingly leaning into crypto as regulated wealth products, not risky side bets. Nearly half of surveyed portfolios now hold more than 10% crypto, and 80% of active investors own Bitcoin, Ether or Solana — with diversification listed as the top motivator.
Sygnum’s report also highlighted confidence in APAC’s regulatory landscape. Singapore’s MAS and Hong Kong’s new frameworks are seen as “specific, deliberate and institution-building,” giving investors clearer standards for custody, operations and protection. With 87% saying they would request crypto services from private banks, institutional involvement in Asia’s digital asset sector appears set to accelerate.

Interesting to see APAC’s wealthy class turning more confident as regulations improve. This could push long-term stability in the crypto sector.

Clear regulations always attract serious capital. APAC’s growing interest might be a major catalyst for the next crypto cycle.
