Crypto holders are gearing up in 2025
Kraken highlights that the survey results debunk numerous myths related to cryptocurrencies. In particular, the already mentioned argument of the lack of real value of these tokens stands out. It is important to consider that many of these coins indeed lack use cases, like memecoins. However, it would be erroneous to generalize, considering highly relevant projects like Solana, Ethereum, and others.
Other striking results from the survey reveal that 52% of those surveyed consider cryptocurrencies as long-term investment assets. Despite this optimistic view, some of the negative narratives from detractors of the sector persist. For example, 60% believe that cryptocurrencies stimulate illegal activities much more than other assets.
This assumption contrasts with the facts, as criminals show a greater preference for cash like USD and Euro. On the other hand, the percentage of people who believe that cryptocurrencies are a Ponzi scheme has dropped to 8%. However, 29% are still undecided on this issue. Another of the most important pieces of data relates to trust in these assets.
Among the respondents, 44% believe that cryptocurrencies are safer compared to the traditional financial system. Meanwhile, 29% express greater trust in traditional finance.
