More Americans Have Tried Crypto, But Few Are Sticking With It: Survey

Summary

A national Ipsos survey found that 22% of U.S. adults have ever owned or used crypto, up from 18% a year earlier, but recent use stayed at 13%. Most of the increase came from people who no longer use it; future purchase plans were also nearly unchanged. Men and adults under 60 reported higher recent use. Despite widespread concern about traditional financial institutions’ security and privacy, trust in crypto exchanges and decentralized platforms was low. Familiarity with DeFi remains limited, though some respondents expressed interest in trying it. Interest in learning about stablecoins and DeFi declined.
