During a conversation with Cointelegraph's multimedia director Ciaran Lyons at the Token2049 conference in Singapore, Kevin Lee, Chief Strategy Officer of the cryptocurrency exchange BingX, stated that wealthy "old money" investors have a longer holding period for Bitcoin compared to many crypto-native traders. He mentioned that he has encountered a large number of "old money" clients seeking alternative investments, saying, "Their diamond hands are stronger than any of ours." Lee pointed out that Bitcoin has grown large enough that wealthy investors are increasingly viewing it as a tool for diversifying their portfolios rather than expecting it to "increase tenfold in two weeks."Lee sees wealthy investors as an underdeveloped source of crypto capital, believing that their buy-and-hold strategy could make Bitcoin a diversification tool for more investors. He cited examples where investors allocate 5% to gold and another 5% to Bitcoin, rather than chasing short-term quick returns. A survey released by CoinShares on Monday, targeting 2,230 investors with investable assets of at least $500,000, showed that long-term appreciation and diversification are the primary reasons for investing in crypto assets, while short-term speculation ranked last. Among the surveyed digital asset investors, 80% hold Bitcoin.However, crypto assets are still far from becoming a standard allocation for wealthy families. A survey conducted by JPMorgan in February, based on 333 single-family offices across 30 countries, revealed that 89% of family offices have no exposure to crypto assets, with an average allocation to crypto and digital assets of only 0.4%. Only 17% of respondents consider crypto and digital assets as key investment themes.

These institutions became holders at different stages of Solomon's development, with some participating in its public offering and others acquiring SOLO through market purchases or over-the-counter transactions, and many institutions subsequently increased their holdings.Solomon stated that the project is built around public ownership, with institutional supporters and individual holders using the same ownership and governance tokens, and jointly focusing on the long-term development of the business. As more financial assets are brought on-chain, companies need to systematically manage related revenues, incentives, and obligations, including qualification verification, payment calculations, and policies applicable across products, customers, and jurisdictions.According to reports, issuers and applications can configure revenues, rewards, dividends, and other distributions on the Solomon platform while retaining control over qualifications, distributions, approvals, and business relationships.
