Nomura Holdings, Japan's largest brokerage firm, together with its digital asset division Laser Digital, announced the results of a survey that found more than half of investment managers surveyed plan to invest in crypto assets over the next three years.
The survey, conducted in April with more than 500 investment managers in Japan, revealed that 54% of participants are considering investing in cryptocurrencies over the next three years to stabilize their portfolios. They aim to achieve this by diversifying their investments and hedging against inflation.
Approximately 25% of respondents express a positive attitude towards cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum, and 60% view cryptoassets as a valuable diversification opportunity.
This survey follows the approval of a proposal by the Japanese cabinet to include cryptocurrencies in the list of assets that domestic limited liability investment companies can acquire or hold. According to a separate statement from Nomura on Monday, the revision of the Limited Partnership Law is expected later this year.
The survey also shows that for those currently investing in cryptoassets or considering investing in them, the primary motivations for future investments include the development of various financial products, such as exchange-traded funds, investment trusts, staking, loans and other related products.
