According to a recent survey, Japanese institutional investors are planning to invest in digital assets within the next three years.
A survey conducted by Nomura Securities revealed that 54% of Japanese institutional investors plan to invest in cryptocurrencies in the next three years. The survey involved 547 investment fund managers from institutional players, family offices, and public interest corporations.
The main motivation behind the growing interest in digital assets is the need to combat inflation and counter the devaluation of the Japanese yen. Bitcoin and Ethereum are viewed positively by investors, thanks to their potential returns and low correlation with other financial assets.
Most investors see cryptocurrencies primarily as an opportunity for diversification and as a possibility to obtain high returns. Only 16% of respondents consider cryptocurrencies an alternative to traditional currencies.
The survey results indicate that 66% of investors interested in digital assets plan to allocate between 2% and 5% of their capital to cryptocurrencies, maintaining their investment for at least a year.
Some investors have also shown interest in related activities such as staking, mining, and lending.
