Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: More than 50% of institutional and professional investors will have exposure to digital assets in their portfolios by year-end, said a study. This would mark 2021 as a tipping point where investors go from evaluating the opportunity to act.
According to a report by HashKey Group, a player in digital asset management and blockchain solutions, institutional investors expressed fear that they may miss out on potentially exponential growth if they do not adopt digital assets now.
They cited the long-term investment opportunities that exist in many forms of asset tokenization, ranging from virtual currencies to infrastructure such as platforms and applications -- and growth - as among the reasons to consider the asset class.
The total market capitalization of digital assets is just US$260 billion, relatively small compared to other traditional assets.
However, globally the digital asset market has tremendous growth potential and is expected to grow from US$3.4 billion in 2020 to US$6.0 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 12.0%.
In the HashKey Group report, some first-mover investors highlighted the value of investing early to gain knowledge and experience to prepare for the wave.
Large-scale government spending worldwide in the pandemic to support economic recovery and the evolving global regulatory framework is the primary reasons cited by investors diversifying into this growing asset class.
