A recent survey of Japanese investors shows that institutional traders in Japan are looking to allocate money to crypto.
In a recent report, Laser Digital, the digital asset arm of Japanese financial giant Nomura questioned more than 500 investment managers in Japan.
“More than 500 investment managers in Japan were surveyed; from institutional investors, family offices and government-owned companies in Japan, with AUM (assets under management) ranging from several hundred million yen to several hundred billion yen.”
According to the questionnaireMore than 50% of participants surveyed expressed their intention to invest in crypto within three years.
60% of respondents are interested in crypto as a diversification option, while 38% believe crypto has a low correlation with other investment assets.
37% said crypto was a hedge against inflation. Meanwhile, 30% were interested because of crypto’s high return potential, and 9% appreciated the 24/7 nature of the crypto market.
“Respondents are interested in investing in crypto assets with the aim of stabilizing their portfolio while reducing risks, such as diversification and hedging against inflation, more than chasing potential returns.”
Furthermore, the survey found that 80% of respondents were in it for the long term and were willing to invest in crypto for at least a year.
