The majority of Japanese institutional traders plan to invest in digital assets within three years,
Many view crypto as a diversification opportunity.
Over half
of Japanese institutional investors plan to invest in digital assets within the
next three years, according to a new survey by Nomura Holdings and its
digital asset subsidiary Laser Digital.
Japanese Institutional
Investors Warm to Digital Assets, Survey Finds
The study,
which polled more than 500 investment managers from institutions, family
offices, and public-service corporations in Japan, reveals a growing appetite
for crypto assets among traditional financial players.
Of those
surveyed, 54% indicated they intend to invest in crypto assets over the next
three years. Additionally, 25% of respondents reported a "positive"
impression of crypto assets, while 62% view them as a diversification
opportunity.
The survey
found that investors considering crypto allocations prefer a 2-5% range of
assets under management. Respondents cited the development of various
investment products, including ETFs, investment trusts, and staking
opportunities, as key drivers for future investment.
Interestingly,
about half of the respondents expressed interest in investing in Web3 projects,
either directly or through venture capital funds. This interest could be
bolstered by an expected revision to Japan's Limited Partnerships Act later
this year, which would add crypto assets to the list of permissible investments
for limited partnerships.
However,
the survey also identified several barriers to entry for those not currently
considering crypto investments. These include concerns about counterparty risk,
high volatility, and regulatory requirements.
The survey
results come as Japan continues to position itself as a hub for digital asset
innovation, with recent regulatory changes aimed at fostering growth in the
sector while maintaining investor protections.

“As the
digital asset landscape evolves, the development of a stablecoin for use in the
Japanese market will be key to expanding the accessibility and adoption of
digital assets in Japan and beyond,” commented Steve Ashley, the Executive
Chairman at Laser
Digital.
His
comment, however, did not appear alongside the publication of the current
survey results but rather with last month's news that Laser Digital was among
the three companies aiming to
offer "stablecoin-as-a-service" in Japan.
“This
project has the potential to greatly enhance digital asset accessibility and
innovation in the Japanese financial landscape,” Ashley added.
A week ago,
Nomura’s digital assets arm also
informed that it received a Financial Services Permission (FSP) from the
Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market
(ADGM). The new authorization allows the company to offer broker-dealer and
asset management products for traditional and virtual assets in Abu Dhabi.

Asset Allocation & Trading in a Lower Interest Rate Environment | FMAS:24
Traditional investment paradigms shift in a lower interest rate environment, compelling investors to reassess their asset allocation and trading strategies.
