S’pore investors boost crypto confidence despite security and custody concerns: report

Sixty-five percent of Singapore investors reported an increased risk appetite for the asset class.

Singapore investors show strong interest in crypto investments, with 57% planning to increase their long-term allocations, according to the latest data from Sygnum.

Sygnum revealed that 65% of Singapore investors have an increased risk appetite for the asset class, driven by long-term confidence in the crypto megatrend and its diversification potential, with 73% stating that crypto ETFs have bolstered their confidence.

Primary motivations include exposure to the crypto megatrend (56%), portfolio diversification (41%), yield generation (39%), and availability of institutional-grade products (37%).

The report also showed that Singapore investors are less likely to view regulatory uncertainty as a primary barrier to entry, with 75% stating that regulatory clarity has improved.

Meanwhile, security and custody concerns remain the largest barrier to institutional crypto adoption in Singapore (45%), followed by a lack of information and understanding (41%) and asset volatility (41%).

In addition, 90% of Singapore investors indicated that access to better information and insights would encourage further investment in crypto.

Sygnum surveyed over 400 respondents with an average of 10+ years of investment experience. Among these, 121 respondents were based in Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
