Investors and Wealth Managers to Boost Allocations in Digital and Crypto Assets

Investors and wealth managers are increasingly committed to expanding their allocations in digital assets, according to recent global research by Nickel Digital Asset Management, a leading regulated digital assets hedge fund manager based in London.

The study reveals that 80% of organizations already invested in digital assets plan to boost their investments over the next year, building on previous increases. About 67% of respondents reported expanding their holdings this year.

Institutional investors and wealth managers from the US, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Brazil, and the UAE, who collectively manage approximately $1.7 trillion in assets, have a positive outlook for the sector both in the short and long term.

Nearly all (98%) consider digital asset investment opportunities attractive in the coming year, with 32% rating them as very attractive. Over the next five years, 97% find the opportunities appealing, with 44% rating them as very attractive.

Nickel’s research shows that 83% of these investors and managers have been involved in digital assets for at least two years, with 5% having invested in the past year. Currently, around 90% have up to 3% of their assets in the sector, but 60% expect to exceed this allocation within three years, with 12% anticipating investing 5% or more.
