A recent study of Japanese investors reveals that institutional traders in Japan have their sights set on investing in cryptocurrency. Nomura’s digital asset arm, Laser Digital, conducted a survey of over 500 investment managers in Japan.
The survey included a wide range of investment managers, from institutional investors to family offices and public-service corporations in Japan, with assets under management (AUM) ranging from several hundred million yen to several hundred billion yen.
The results of the survey indicate that more than 50% of the participants are planning to invest in cryptocurrency within the next three years. Among the respondents, 60% see cryptocurrency as a diversification opportunity, while 38% believe it has a low correlation with other investment assets. Additionally, 37% view cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation, while 30% are attracted to its high return potential. A smaller percentage, 9%, appreciate the 24/7 nature of the crypto market.
The survey also found that 80% of respondents are committed to investing in cryptocurrency for at least one year, showing a long-term perspective on their investment strategy.
