A recent survey by Avaloq, a subsidiary of NEC Corporation, indicates that 64% of wealth managers in the UAE are seeking improved crypto and digital asset solutions to cater to increasing investor demand. The Avaloq Wealth Insights 2025 survey, which included responses from 3,851 investors and 456 professionals across 15 markets, reveals that 39% of UAE investors currently hold cryptocurrencies, exceeding the global average of 30%. The report underscores a significant gap between the growing interest of investors in digital assets and the preparedness of traditional wealth management firms to offer comprehensive crypto-related services. This trend highlights the urgent need for wealth managers to adapt to the evolving financial landscape to meet client expectations.
