Asia's top wealthy families are increasing their encryption asset allocation ratio, and regulatory clarity is giving rise to a new 5% investment standard.

Ultra-high-net-worth families in Asia are significantly increasing their allocation to cryptocurrency assets, with some overseas Chinese family offices planning to raise their investment ratio to 5% of their portfolios. This trend is driven by three main factors: the gradual improvement of the regulatory framework (legislation on stablecoins in Hong Kong, advancement of the GENIUS Act in the United States), the astonishing return rate of 375% from crypto equity funds, and the institutional-level digital asset custody ecosystem being developed in Singapore and Hong Kong. Monitoring data from authoritative institutions such as UBS and Reuters show that Asia is replacing Europe and the United States as the new center for institutional investment in crypto assets.

[Configuration Upgrade: Transition from Experimental ETF to Direct Token Holding] The cryptocurrency investment strategies of wealthy Asian families have undergone a fundamental shift:
