The region\u2019s expected USD 1 tn intergenerational wealth transfer is driving a surge in crypto investments among Emirati families, analysts say, with allocations to tokenized funds and digital assets rising. Still, portfolios of riskier assets remain more conservative than in the West, with older generations\u2019 preference for liquidity and property tempering the new appetite for risk.<\/p>\n
