The Target Survey
In the survey, 30 Hong Kong and Singapore-based family offices and high-net-worth individuals responded, with the majority managing assets between $10 million and $500 million.
According to KPMG, the rise of “mainstream institutional attention” in crypto has spurred confidence in the sector among the ultra-wealthy in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Also, the market’s interest in crypto has been driven by high returns, portfolio diversification and an increase in confidence.
In addition, digital asset financial products, including regulated products, are more accessible to institutions.

However, not all respondents were bullish, with some saying the industry needs more mature approaches to valuing cryptocurrencies because there aren’t any yet.
Furthermore, most companies that have already invested in digital assets allocate only 5% of their portfolio to them due to regulatory and accounting uncertainty.
According to KPMG, regulatory uncertainty remains a barrier for major players across Singapore and Hong Kong, with investors thirsting for clear regulatory frameworks that balance investor protections with industry growth.
