What other data has been released? 29% of respondents aged 21 to 42 noted that cryptocurrencies provide the greatest opportunity for wealth growth, with traditional financial assets making up only a quarter of their portfolio. In the 43 and above age group, equities account for 55%, while only 7% agreed with the statement about the leading role of digital assets.
50% of younger investors rely on information and advice from social media when choosing assets for their portfolios. Among the older group, only 30% of respondents use such a strategy.
It is noted that the study involved a representative sample of the US high-net-worth population, not all respondents are clients of BofA.
In July, representatives of BofA conducted a survey among 1000 respondents from the United States. 91% of them plan to buy cryptocurrency by the end of the year. 30% intend to use digital assets as long-term investments. 39% used cryptocurrency as a means of payment for online purchases.
Toluna’s October survey of 10 500 people aged 18 to 64 from four regions around the world found that 60% of respondents do not understand cryptocurrency technology. 42% called the asset a risky investment, despite the potential short- and long-term benefits.
