New insights from Sygnum’s December 2025 Asia-Pacific HNWI Report show that 60% of surveyed high-net-worth individuals in the region plan to increase their cryptocurrency exposure over the next two to five years, underscoring a constructive outlook for digital asset adoption among ultra‑affluent investors.

Across respondents, 87% already own crypto, with roughly half allocating more than 10% of their portfolios and an average stake near 17%. Some 80% are positioned in blockchain protocol tokens such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

Respondents cited portfolio diversification as a primary motive (56%), while a striking 90% view digital assets as integral to long‑term wealth preservation and estate planning rather than mere speculation.

Sygnum co-founder Gerald Goh notes the 17% average underscores a long‑horizon approach, with family offices integrating institutional-grade products and intergenerational wealth planning into crypto strategies.
