A survey conducted by the crypto exchange Kraken reveals that many U.S. investors view cryptocurrencies as having more growth potential compared to traditional investment options such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. The survey, which included 2,191 U.S. residents over the age of 18, sought to understand their sentiments and plans for crypto investing through 2025.
Continued Investment Interest
The survey results indicate that a significant majority, 73%, of current crypto investors plan to maintain or increase their investments in cryptocurrencies by 2025. Among these, 45% expressed a strong commitment to continue investing, while another 29% were somewhat likely to do so. The inclination towards crypto investments was notably higher among participants from higher-income households, particularly those earning between $175,000 and $200,000 annually, with 82% planning to continue investing in cryptocurrencies. Even in the lower-income bracket of $0 to $24,999, 59% of participants expressed intentions to stay invested in crypto.
Growth Potential Perception
The survey highlighted that 36% of respondents believe cryptocurrencies offer greater growth potential than traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate. In comparison, 34% saw stocks as having significant potential, while bonds and real estate were favored by 13% and 17% of the respondents, respectively. This perception reflects a shifting mindset among investors who are increasingly viewing crypto as a viable and potentially more rewarding investment avenue.
Preference for Established Cryptocurrencies
Interestingly, the type of cryptocurrencies preferred by investors also varied. A substantial 70% of respondents showed a preference for established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin over memecoins such as Dogecoin, which only 12% favored. Emerging coins like Solana attracted 17% of the participants. The researchers noted that this preference indicates a maturing investor base that prioritizes stability and security, opting for coins with a longer history and larger market capitalization.
