Cryptocurrency can be easier to buy than ever, but most Americans still don’t want part of it.
A new Gallup survey found that only 14% of American adults have cryptography, a figure that has been growing but still represents a small portion of the investor public.
The study, conducted in mid -June, revealed a deep skepticism about cryptocurrencies. 60% of respondents said they have no interest in buying cryptocurrencies, and only 17% admitted that they are intrigued. Only 4% of respondents said they plan to buy cryptography in the near future.
Gallup also found that among US investors who have more than $ 10,000 in mutual shares, bonds or funds, 55% considered the “very risky” asset class. Even so, property rates shot from 2% in 2018 to 17%.
This skepticism is not surprising, despite the fact that the United States has a Pro-Crypto President and clearer regulations that have been recently arriving. While the 2021 bull career marked the beginning of extreme volatility and made cryptography a conventional theme, the subsequent brutal winter crypto, high -end bankruptcy, such as FTX, as well as FTX, as well as the FTX, as well as brutal dressings, feelings of feelings, feelings of feelings.
Although Crypto has since seen institutional investors jump to the market, helping to become more legitimate, many retail investors, burned by past losses, probably remain attentive.
Four years ago, Gallup found that 6% of US investors possessed cryptocurrency. That figure has increased since then, but it can be conservative, since a Fed survey revealed a 12% property among US investors.
By immersing itself more deeply in the property, the demographic division is marked. While one in four men between 18 and 49 has a crypto, the survey found that the property falls sharply between women and older adults.
University graduates and high -income winners report higher participation to the average, but the elderly and low -income homes remain largely absent from space, according to the survey.
Knowledge gaps also persist. Almost all respondents had heard of Crypto, but only 35% said they really understood how it works. Familiarity was higher among younger and richest men.
Even among those who claim to understand cryptography, most still call it a risky bet. Among US investors, 64% see the kind of assets as “very risky”, compared to 60% in 2021.
The survey found that approximately one in seven Americans has a crypto, while almost six out of 10 real actions or goods. Only 4% of adults said that cryptography is the best long -term investment.
