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

#Midnight is now live, marking the public arrival of a blockchain designed for real-world financial activity, much of which cannot operate comfortably on fully transparent ledgers. With its genesis block created on March 17, 2026, Midnight is now live as a fourth-generation blockchain built for real-world adoption, combining programmable privacy, a predictable cost model, and tools designed to make advanced cryptography easier to use in real applications. Public blockchains brought openness and programmability to digital assets, but large parts of finance and other regulated sectors like health care still require confidentiality, selective disclosure, and cost visibility before they can function comfortably on-chain. Midnight’s launch is the first live step in showing how that model could work in deployed systems. For now, the network is live, the architecture is visible, and users can start examining how privacy is handled at the protocol level. Why Privacy Sits at the Center of Midnight’s Launch The strongest argument behind Midnight’s launch is that public blockchain design still leaves a large share of real-world economic activity stranded off chain. Many financial and commercial workflows cannot operate comfortably on a ledger where balances, counterparties, transaction flows, and supporting data are exposed by default. At the center of Midnight’s design is the idea that more assets and activity can move on-chain only when privacy is built directly into applications and compliance logic. Its model is built around hybrid ledger architecture, client-side proof generation, shielded and unshielded assets, and selective disclosure. The idea is to let sensitive data stay with the user while the network verifies claims about that data cryptographically. A user or institution could prove identity, eligibility, credit conditions, or compliance status without publishing the underlying records to the chain. Midnight also says visibility can be granted to specific authoris

Solana Defends $80 Support — Can Bulls Drive a Rally to $115?

Solana’s price struggles to hold above the critical $80 support, while facing immediate resistance at $87 and an institutional barrier at $100.

Analysts point to conflicting targets for 2026: a bullish rally toward $115 if it breaks resistance, or a corrective drop toward the $35 to $40 zone.

With a capitalization of $51 billion, the asset is trading below its 100-day moving average of $97, keeping the technical structure under bearish pressure.
