Japan's Institutional Crypto Sentiment Hits New Highs in 2026



Nomura Holdings and its digital asset subsidiary Laser Digital have published their 2026 Institutional Investor Survey on Digital Asset Investment Trends, revealing a measurable shift in how Japanese institutional investors view crypto assets.

—

The survey, released on April 16, captures responses from 518 investment professionals across institutional investors, family offices, and public-interest organizations in Japan.

The findings point to growing confidence in digital assets as a legitimate portfolio component, with sentiment improving across nearly every metric compared to the previous survey conducted in June 2024.

Positive Sentiment on the Rise

31% of respondents described their outlook on crypto assets over the next year as positive — up 6 percentage points from 25% in the 2024 survey. At the same time, the share of respondents holding a negative view fell to 18%, down 5 points from 23%. The remaining 51% maintained a neutral stance.

The survey also found a strong correlation between knowledge and optimism: 58% of respondents who self-identified as having high crypto knowledge held a positive view, suggesting that deeper familiarity with the asset class tends to improve perception.

Diversification Remains the Top Driver

65% of respondents said they view crypto assets as an opportunity to diversify their portfolios alongside traditional holdings like cash, stocks, bonds, and commodities — up 3 percentage points from 62% in 2024.

Diversification was cited as the primary reason for planned crypto investment, with respondents also highlighting crypto's low correlation with other asset classes.

Among those considering investing in crypto over the next three years, 79% said they have concrete plans to invest. Of these, 60% expect to allocate bet

Stablecoin issuer Circle faces lawsuit over $230M Drift Protocol hack


Circle Internet Group is facing a class action lawsuit led by a Drift Protocol investor claiming it failed to freeze funds stolen in a $280 million exploit of the protocol on April 1.

The lawsuit was filed by Drift investor Joshua McCollum on behalf of over 100 members in a US district court in Massachusetts on Wednesday, which accused Circle of allowing the attackers to transfer about $230 million worth of $USDC ($USDC) from Solana to Ethereum via Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) over several hours without intervention.

“Circle permitted this criminal use of its technology and services,” attorneys representing McCollum wrote, adding: “These losses would not have occurred, or would have been substantially reduced, had Circle taken timely action.”

The suit accuses Circle of aiding and abetting conversion as well as negligence. Mira Gibb, the law firm representing McCollum and other Drift investors, is seeking damages, with the final amount to be determined at trial.

The case touches on a legal grey area around crypto companies that retain control over user funds. While such companies may have the technical ability to intervene or freeze assets, they often cite regulatory constraints or the lack of immediate legal authority as reasons for inaction — leaving accountability unclear as exploits unfold in real-time.

McCollum’s lawyers pointed out that Circle froze 16 $USDC wallets in connection with a sealed US civil case about a week before the Drift incident to argue that Circle had the technical capacity to do the same.

Cointelegraph reached out to Circle for comment, but didn’t receive an immediate response.

Crypto analytics firm Elliptic suspected the exploit was committed by North Korean state-backed hackers, who made over 100 transacti
