Three in four high-net-worth investors hold tokenised assets

Study shows strong demand for tokenised private equity, credit, and commodities.

Three in four of Singapore’s high-net-worth and professional investors already hold tokenised assets, according to a Sygnum report.

Amongst them, 48% hold or are targeting tokenised private equity and venture capital, 47% private credit, and 45% commodities.

Sygnum said the findings come as the Monetary Authority of Singapore is consulting on widening retail access to more fund types, including private-market strategies and commodities.

Across the regional survey, tokenised equities were the most in-demand category, with 68% of respondents already invested in tokenised assets saying they hold or are targeting them.

The report also identified secondary-market liquidity and legal clarity as the main barriers to further allocations.

Amongst those already invested, 63% cited the need for deeper secondary-market liquidity, whilst 58% pointed to greater legal certainty.

Sygnum said regulatory treatment remains a key issue, particularly over the rights and benefits attached to tokens relative to the underlying shares.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
