Wealth Tracker: Why are Asia’s wealthy going all in on crypto?

Crypto is no longer just a niche play. Asia’s high-net-worth individuals are increasingly allocating real portions of their portfolios to digital assets. According to Sygnum’s 2025 APAC HNWI Report, nearly half of HNWIs in the region now dedicate more than 10% of their wealth to crypto, viewing it as a tool for long-term preservation and legacy planning rather than pure speculation. What’s driving this bullish sentiment? And how will crypto shape private wealth strategies in 2026? On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Jason French, Executive Director at Sygnum Bank, to break down the trends, the opportunities, and what this shift means for the future of wealth in Asia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
