Wealthy Asian Investors Increase Crypto Allocations as Market Matures
High-net-worth individuals and family offices across Asia are accelerating their exposure to cryptocurrencies, driven by surging trading volumes and regulatory advancements. Swiss bank UBS reports overseas Chinese family offices planning to raise crypto allocations to approximately 5% of their portfolios, with younger generations leading the charge.
Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US are emerging as key hubs for institutional adoption, with wealth managers noting a marked increase in client inquiries. Crypto exchanges are experiencing heightened activity, while dedicated funds attract fresh capital inflows. "Many second- and third-generation family office members are actively engaging with digital assets," observed Lu Zijie of UBS China.
