📈 BlackRock Says 1% Asia Crypto Allocation Could Unlock ~$2 Trillion
A BlackRock executive at the Consensus conference in Hong Kong said that if standard investment portfolios in Asia allocated just 1% to cryptocurrencies, it could generate an estimated ~$2 trillion in new capital inflows into digital assets — a figure roughly 60% of the current total crypto market cap.
Key Facts:
• Massive potential inflows: A 1% allocation across Asia’s nearly $108 trillion in household wealth could equate to about $2 trillion into crypto markets.
• ETF demand rising: BlackRock highlighted growing institutional interest and adoption of crypto ETFs in Asia, including regulators expanding offerings.
• Bitcoin ETF growth: BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has grown rapidly since 2024, with nearly $53 billion in assets under management.
Expert Insight:
Analysts say this hypothetical allocation underscores how modest shifts in portfolio strategies — even conservative ones — could dramatically reshape digital asset liquidity if wider institutional adoption follows.
