As crypto investment gains momentum globally, more investors—both experienced and new—are looking to  better understand the opportunities and risks in this rapidly evolving space. In a recent feature on Singapore’s MediaCorp Channel 8—the nation’s first Chinese-language television channel under Mediacorp Pte. Ltd.—Amber Group was spotlighted as a key industry authority. Co-Founder & CEO Michael Wu and Partner Yi Bao shared their outlook on Bitcoin’s price momentum, the rise in institutional interest, and practical considerations for investors, during a segment on Morning Express.

Filmed at Amber Group’s Singapore headquarters, the interview captured the firm’s commitment to innovation and education. It also highlighted Amber Group’s forward-thinking culture, where boundary-pushing ideas lead the way in digital asset services.

Driving Forces Behind Crypto’s Growth

The segment began by analyzing Bitcoin’s recent price surge—fueled in part by macroeconomic indicators such as potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate adjustments—and new policy signals following President Trump’s re-election. Michael Wu, Amber Group’s Co-Founder & CEO, observed a notable increase in institutional client inquiries since the U.S. election, partly due to an increasingly accommodative macroeconomic environment:

「在 11 月之後，傳統機構客戶對加密資產的詢問頻率和投資力度都明顯提高，以及對於我們業務的採用度也明顯提高。伴隨著美聯儲繼續降息以及新一輪更完整的監管體系即將出臺，數字資產在資產管理和即將到來的AI經濟中將至關重要。」

 

“Since November, we've seen a significant increase in inquiries, investment, and adoption of our services from traditional institutional clients. With the Federal Reserve continuing to lower interest rates and a more comprehensive regulatory framework on the horizon, digital assets will be crucial in asset management and the emerging AI economy.”

He added that policy clarity—particularly in the United States—could further encourage mainstream adoption, paving the way for a more mature and stable crypto market. Michael’s observations underscore a crucial shift: as crypto earns broader acceptance, it is rapidly becoming a strategic pillar in diversified financial portfolios.

Staying Composed Amid Volatility

While enthusiasm for digital assets continues to grow, short-term price swings can be unpredictable. Yi Bao, who leads Amber Group’s Digital Wealth Management division and personally invests in crypto, emphasized the importance of a measured approach. Reflecting on how he navigated earlier market downturns, he noted:

「在市場相對恐慌的時候，我更願意去以更合理的價格買入比特幣，因為看好它長期的增值潛力，以及它能抵抗通脹的能力。」

 

”When the market is experiencing fear and uncertainty, I tend to buy Bitcoin at discounted prices. I believe in its long-term growth potential and its ability to protect against inflation.”

Michael likewise stressed the benefits of long-term positioning:

「將數位資產納入長期配置，並不過度在意短期的價格波動或一時的盈虧。我認為，這樣的投資心態更健康，也更有可能帶來理想的回報。」

 

”I believe a long-term approach to digital assets is best—don't get too caught up in the daily price swings or whether you're making money right now. This calmer approach is healthier and more likely to lead to good returns in the long run.”

Both experts highlighted the advantages of steady, incremental allocations rather than lump-sum investing—cautioning individuals to use only funds they can comfortably hold for the long haul. This measured perspective aligns with Amber Group’s commitment to guiding market participants through balanced, security-focused strategies.

Core Considerations for Crypto Participants

1. Long-Term Mindset
   View crypto as part of a broader asset allocation strategy, rather than a vehicle for short-term gains.

2. Risk Management
   Understand crypto’s inherent volatility and avoid using critical savings. Allocate only discretionary funds.

3. Compliance & Security
   Select reputable service providers with strong emphasis on regulatory compliance, secure custody, and transparent operations.

4. Ongoing Education
   Stay informed about market trends, regulatory developments, and the underlying technology to make more confident decisions.
