Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nicholas Peach, Head of BlackRock iShares Asia-Pacific, stated at the Hong Kong Consensus conference that if only 1% of traditional investment portfolios in Asia are allocated to cryptocurrencies, it could theoretically bring nearly 2 trillion USD of new capital into the market, demonstrating the enormous potential scale of traditional financial capital.
Peach pointed out that as institutional acceptance of crypto ETFs in Asia continues to grow, market expectations for digital assets are changing. Currently, some asset allocation models have begun to recommend including small proportions of cryptocurrencies in standard portfolios. Based on Asia’s household wealth of approximately 108 trillion USD, even a very conservative allocation could have a profound impact on the market.
The spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT under BlackRock iShares has rapidly grown to about 53 billion USD in assets. Meanwhile, regulators in markets such as Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea are gradually promoting the rollout of more crypto ETF products. Industry insiders believe that whether future capital can smoothly enter the market still depends on further improvements in investor education and asset allocation frameworks.
