XSpring Asset Management (XSpring AM) is getting ready to launch new investment funds that include Bitcoin and commodities like gold and silver. These new funds are designed to give investors strong returns — over 10% — even during uncertain times caused by global tensions and economic instability.

The company’s CEO, Yodsakorn Follett, explained that the upcoming funds will allow partial investments in digital assets. This move is aimed at people who want to spread their money across different assets like gold, bonds, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. The goal is to help investors diversify their portfolios and reduce risk.

These funds will be offered in Thai baht and targeted at local investors in Thailand. However, the actual crypto investments will be made through international exchanges. According to Mr. Yodsakorn, these global platforms provide better liquidity than local exchanges, making it easier to manage assets efficiently.

It’s important to note that both cryptocurrencies and commodities can be very volatile. That means prices can change quickly, so these investments are best suited for people who can handle higher risk.

Gold has been performing well recently due to rising global tensions, ongoing inflation, and countries shifting away from the US dollar — a trend known as “de-dollarisation.” Central banks around the world are buying more gold while cutting back on US dollar reserves.

Experts believe that if international gold prices reach $5,000 per ounce, Thailand’s domestic gold prices could climb to 100,000 baht per baht weight by the second quarter of 2026. This would likely happen alongside a strengthening Thai baht.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are also expected to rise again. Predictions suggest Bitcoin could hit $100,000 and Ethereum may return to around $4,800.

Mr. Yodsakorn noted that the world economy is becoming more divided, with major powers like the US, China, and Russia forming separate economic blocs. Even without a major war, ongoing geopolitical tension is expected to keep gold prices high for the foreseeable future.

The new fund from XSpring AM will invest directly in gold, crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and traditional bonds. However, due to current regulations, it’s expected that only ultra-accredited investors — those with significant financial resources — will be allowed to invest at first.

Mr. Yodsakorn believes that opening up crypto investment options to regular retail investors would help grow the market and increase access to new financial products. While crypto prices may remain unstable in the short term — especially with crackdowns on scams happening globally and in Thailand — long-term adoption of digital currencies and stablecoins is expected to grow.

XSpring AM is also planning to launch a new commodity-focused fund that includes gold, copper, and silver. This could be structured as a “fund of funds” and may launch in the first quarter of this year. The company expects ongoing geopolitical risks to push commodity prices even higher.

Looking ahead to 2026, XSpring AM plans to roll out at least one new investment fund every quarter. These funds will continue focusing on global technology trends such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.

The company expects its total assets under management to grow by nearly 50% this year, reaching around 17 billion baht. This growth will be driven by new fund launches and a focus on tech investments in key markets like the US, Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea.

Revenue across all of XSpring AM’s business segments is also set to rise by about 40%. This includes a 15.1% increase in fund management fees and a massive 160% jump in income from distributing investment products.
