In 2025, the number of encryption millionaires surged by 40%, leading to a global wave of "encryption immigration" among the wealthy.

"2025 Crypto Assets Wealth Report" [reveals] ( https://www.henleyglobal.com/publications/crypto-wealth-report-2025) A quiet wealth reconstruction is taking place globally: the number of crypto millionaires surged by 40% in just one year, reaching 241,700, while "crypto havens" like Singapore and Hong Kong are becoming the preferred residences for the world's wealthy. This trend marks a shift of digital assets from speculative tools to a core choice for wealth preservation.

Explosive Growth of Crypto Assets: Digital Assets Create a New Generation of Wealthy Class

The cryptocurrency market in 2025 is creating an unprecedented wealth effect. The latest "2025 Cryptocurrency Wealth Report" presents shocking data: the number of global crypto millionaires has surpassed 240,000, a 40% increase compared to the same period last year, setting a new historical record.

The report provides a detailed analysis of the distribution structure of Crypto Assets, revealing distinct hierarchical characteristics:

· Crypto Assets Millionaires: A total of 241,700 people, a year-on-year growth of 40%.

· Bitcoin millionaires: 145,100 people, an annual growth of 70%, accounting for 60% of the total.

· Billionaires: The number of people holding over 100 million USD in Crypto Assets has increased to 450, a year-on-year growth of 38%.

· Crypto Assets whales: The number of crypto billionaires with assets exceeding 1 billion USD has reached 36.

"Bitcoin remains the most powerful wealth creation engine," the report analysis stated, "with the continued influx of institutional funds, the wealth growth rate of Bitcoin holders far exceeds that of other asset classes."

The Dual Engines of Crypto Asset Growth: Institutional Adoption and National Strategy

The attitude of traditional financial institutions towards Crypto Assets has shifted from observation to active participation:

The successful launch of ETF products provides institutional investors with a compliant channel.

· The retirement fund begins to include Crypto Assets in long-term asset allocation.

· Private banks provide Crypto Assets custody services for high net worth clients.

· Hedge funds increase their allocation to Crypto Assets.

"The entry of institutional funds not only brings liquidity but also enhances the overall maturity of the market," said an executive from an asset management company. "This creates a more stable environment for personal investors to appreciate their assets."

National-Level Digital Currency Strategy

Governments around the world are shifting their attitude towards blockchain technology from regulation to active participation:

· More than 30 countries are developing or testing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC)

· Multiple governments are beginning to establish Bitcoin strategic reserves.

· The regulatory framework is becoming increasingly clear, providing legal certainty for market participants.

· The competition of digital currencies between countries has accelerated infrastructure development.

"Government participation has provided unprecedented legitimacy for Crypto Assets," the report noted, "This 'top-down' recognition combined with 'bottom-up' market adoption has created a virtuous cycle."

Global Wealth Migration: A New Home for Crypto Tycoons

Another important finding of the report is that encryption billionaires are undergoing a global migration, seeking the most suitable jurisdictions for holding and managing digital assets.

Several key regions are becoming the top choice for Crypto Assets millionaires:

· Singapore: Asia's financial hub, providing a clear regulatory framework and favorable tax system

· Hong Kong: is actively developing into a Crypto Assets hub, attracting a large amount of capital and talent

· Switzerland: A traditional wealth management hub with mature Crypto Assets regulations.

· UAE: It is expected to attract nearly 9,800 millionaires by 2025, a significant proportion of whom are Crypto Assets tycoons.

"These regions are engaged in a competition for 'regulatory arbitrage,'" explained an international tax expert. "They understand that attracting Crypto Assets millionaires not only brings tax revenue but also fosters the development of the entire fintech ecosystem."

Three Pillars of a Crypto-Friendly Environment

The reason why these Crypto Assets havens are favored by the wealthy is mainly based on three major factors:

· Tax-friendly: Provides clear and favorable tax policies for Crypto Assets trading and holding.

· Comprehensive infrastructure: Equipped with advanced digital financial services, custody solutions, and trading platforms.

· Regulatory framework is clear: providing legal certainty for encryption enterprises and investors, reducing compliance risks.

"In the field of Crypto Assets, the clarity of regulation is more important than the tax rate itself," the report emphasizes, "The wealthy are willing to pay reasonable taxes, but need to clearly understand what the rules are."

Market Positioning Shift of Crypto Assets: From Speculation to Cornerstone

As the wealth of encryption continues to grow, the market's perception of Crypto Assets is undergoing a fundamental transformation.

Crypto Assets are undergoing an identity transformation:

· No longer seen as purely a speculative tool, but as a choice for long-term wealth preservation.

· Become a core asset class in a diversified investment portfolio

· Recognized as an effective tool against inflation and currency devaluation.

· Increasingly more financial institutions are accepting it as compliant collateral.

"Crypto Assets are becoming the cornerstone of a new generation of wealth management," the report states, "especially for young high-net-worth individuals, Bitcoin has become an essential asset class alongside gold and real estate."

Future Outlook: Policy Environment and Technology Integration

Looking ahead, the report predicts that Crypto Assets will continue to grow rapidly, especially driven by the following factors:

· The Trump administration may continue its lenient regulatory stance, further promoting innovation.

· The widespread adoption of CBDCs and stablecoins will accelerate the integration of traditional finance with the Crypto Assets economy.

The continuous increase in the allocation ratio of institutional investors will bring more capital inflow.

Emerging market countries may use Crypto Assets as a tool to hedge against domestic currency risk.

"We are at a historic turning point," the report concluded, "Crypto Assets are transitioning from an alternative investment to a core component of the global wealth system."
