Accredited Investors Show Growing Interest in Tokenized Securities, tZERO Survey Finds

A new research report from VerifyInvestor.com, powered by tZERO Group, Inc., indicates that accredited investors are poised to deploy capital, with a notable and growing interest in tokenized securities. The Accredited Investor Outlook 2026, based on survey responses from over 200 verified accredited investors collected in April 2026, highlights the active and self-directed nature of this investor group and their increasing openness to digital asset securities.

The survey found that more than three-quarters of respondents (77%) plan to make an investment within the next six months, with nearly half expecting to invest within three months. Real estate (66%) and private equity/venture capital (61%) led investment category interest, while digital asset securities attracted interest from 27% of respondents, surpassing several traditional alternative categories such as infrastructure, hedge funds, and energy-focused investments.

When evaluating opportunities, expected returns ranked as the top criterion (70%), but the survey reveals a nuanced decision-making framework. Management quality (50.5%), downside protection and risk mitigation (49%), and sponsor track record (48.5%) were nearly as important, indicating sophisticated due diligence. Liquidity potential ranked lowest at 18%, suggesting investors are willing to commit capital to longer-duration opportunities when fundamentals are compelling.

Despite only 11% of respondents describing themselves as very familiar with tokenized securities, 27% expressed interest in the category, pointing to education as the primary barrier to broader adoption. The report identifies investor awareness progressing through three stages: curiosity, education, and adoption, with many currently transitioning from the first to the second.

“tZERO has pioneered the regulated end-to-end infrastructure, issuance, trading, custody, and settlement, that makes digital asset securities accessible to investors in a compliant, institutional-grade way,” said Alan Konevsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “Reports like this one reflect what we’re seeing on the ground: accredited investors are actively looking to deploy readily available capital, and interest in digital asset securities is growing.”

To support the transition from curiosity to education, VerifyInvestor.com is hosting a live webinar on June 23, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EST, titled “The New SEC Direction on Digital Assets: What Accredited Investors Need to Know.” Registration is available at https://lnkd.in/g8DeCXzg.

“VerifyInvestor.com is one of the most established accredited investor verification platforms. Our latest report highlights that as private markets continue to evolve, having a verified, trusted investor base is foundational,” said Jenny Shields, VP of Operations at VerifyInvestor.com.
