HSBC Survey: Singapore and Malaysia Wealthy Investors' Crypto Allocation Remains Stable, Funds Shift to Gold and Alternative Assets

According to e27, the "2026 Affluent Investor Snapshot" survey released by HSBC shows that the average cryptocurrency allocation for global affluent and high-net-worth investors is 6%, a slight decrease of 1 percentage point compared to 2025. Singapore investors' crypto allocation remained unchanged at 5%, and Malaysia remained unchanged at 6%, with no significant signs of exit. Meanwhile, investors in both regions are actively reducing cash holdings—13% of respondents in Singapore and 16% in Malaysia plan to reduce cash allocation within the next 12 months, shifting to increase alternative assets such as fixed deposits, gold, and private equity. Malaysian investors' interest in gold is particularly prominent, with the proportion planning to increase gold holdings rising by 20 percentage points; Singapore investors are more inclined towards fixed deposits (+18 percentage points) and alternative investments (+15 percentage points). Conducted between January and February 2026, this survey covered a total of 9,993 investors across 10 global markets, with a minimum investable asset threshold for respondents of USD 100,000.

New Hampshire Signs Blockchain Basic Laws into Effect, Texas Invests Approximately $5 Million to Establish Bitcoin Reserve

, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte recently signed HB 639, the Blockchain Basic Laws, to increase legal protections for digital asset users, developers, miners, validators, and businesses, and to safeguard digital asset usage and self-custody rights. The bill also authorizes the creation of a dedicated docket for blockchain-related disputes. New Hampshire's 2025 law allows the State Treasurer to invest up to 5% of specific public funds in precious metals and qualifying digital assets, with Bitcoin currently being the only asset meeting the market cap threshold. Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed SB 21 in June 2025, establishing the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. State lawmakers appropriated $10 million, and Texas subsequently made an initial investment of approximately $5 million via spot Bitcoin ETFs. A 2025 proposal in Wyoming to allow up to 3% of certain state funds to be invested in Bitcoin did not pass. However, the state continues to advance its specialized banking framework and the Frontier Stable Token. FRNT became publicly available in January 2026 and is described as the first state-issued stable token in the United States.

Stable Sea Integrates WisdomTree Tokenized Treasury Fund WTGXX for Corporate Cash Management

According to Cointelegraph, Stable Sea, an enterprise treasury management platform, has integrated WisdomTree’s tokenized U.S. Treasury money market fund WTGXX onto its platform, enabling corporate clients to allocate idle funds into the fund to generate returns. As of April 28, WTGXX’s total assets under management stood at $857.6 million, with a daily yield of 3.43%. WTGXX primarily invests in short-term U.S. Treasury securities; its shares are recorded on-chain, supporting faster settlement and automated trading. Stable Sea’s core functionality automatically sweeps corporate cash balances into yield-bearing instruments—and this integration extends that capability to tokenized funds. Clients remain subject to standard compliance review processes. Tokenized money market funds are now accelerating institutional adoption. WisdomTree has received SEC approval for 24/7 trading of WTGXX; Franklin Templeton is collaborating with Binance to promote tokenized fund shares as over-the-counter (OTC) collateral; and Standard Chartered has launched a framework enabling BlackRock’s tokenized Treasury fund to serve as collateral for trading on OKX.
