Family Offices Increasingly Invest In AI, Gaming, And Liquid Tokens

According to Odaily, the latest Family Office Investor Summit (FOIS) held in Singapore this week revealed that family offices managing at least $100 million are increasingly seeking investments in liquid tokens, artificial intelligence (AI), and gaming as part of their move into alternative assets. Globally, there are 8,030 single-family offices, and their managed assets are expected to surge by 189% to $9.5 trillion by 2030. FOIS founder Manana Samuseva stated, 'The Asia-Pacific region is expected to lead the growth in family office wealth globally. By 2025, assets managed in Singapore could grow by 10% to $5.41 trillion. This growth is largely driven by net inflows into alternative investments, with 37% of family offices anticipating widespread adoption of digital technologies and 32% focusing on sustainable investments.' Samuseva added that while short-term, profit-centric tech investments have slowed, the hype around AI indicates that these markets remain highly sensitive to external factors. This suggests that digital asset classes are maturing with greater accessibility and cultural shifts. 'Our strategic focus is to deliver internal rate of return (IRR) exceeding 10x through alternative investments,' she explained. Delta Blockchain Fund founder and general partner Per Kavita Gupta noted that liquid token investments are becoming increasingly attractive compared to early-stage investments. 'We are at an interesting juncture in token economics. Despite the sluggish altcoin market, including established projects, new enterprises entering the token market face unusually high valuations set by venture capitalists. This trend makes liquid token investments more appealing compared to early-stage investments, marking a significant shift in the crypto industry,' Gupta remarked.
