What other data has been released? Only 15% of respondents reported that their investments exceeded expectations, while 31% said that the results were about what they expected. 8% found it difficult to assess their actions.

Another question was related to the reason why users invest in cryptocurrencies. Thus, 78% reported that they wanted to find another way to invest. 54% of respondents thought that cryptocurrencies were an easier way to invest than others. And 33% said that the main reason for investing was to become part of the crypto community.

The researchers also conducted a survey about NFTs, which showed the low awareness of Americans about this type of asset. Only 49% of those surveyed have ever heard of NFTs and only 2% have bought non-fungible tokens.

Earlier, the research company The Balance released the results of the survey, according to which 39% of American investors increased investments in cryptocurrency as they “change their investing and savings habits amid a withering economic outlook.” The company conducted the survey between June 30 and July 9, covering 1200 respondents over the age of 18 who fully or partially manage their own finances.
