According to a Coinbase study conducted in 2021, around 20% of Americans reported that they currently own cryptocurrency. This represents a significant increase from just a few years ago when the percentage was much lower.
The study also found that younger generations are more likely to own cryptocurrency than older generations, with 31% of millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) reporting ownership of crypto. In contrast, only 8% of baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) reported owning cryptocurrency.
Furthermore, the study revealed that there is still a lot of room for growth in the cryptocurrency market, as 51% of respondents said they were interested in learning more about crypto. This suggests that there is a potential for broader adoption in the future, especially as more people become familiar with the technology and its potential benefits.
