Nearly Half of U.S. Investors Plan to Invest in Crypto ETFs
A recent survey commissioned by financial services giant Charles Schwab revealed that U.S. investors are increasingly interested in ETFs holding cryptocurrencies.
The survey found that 45% of respondents plan to invest in crypto through ETFs over the next year, an increase from 38% the previous year.
The growing interest in crypto has now surpassed demand for bonds and alternative assets, with only U.S. equities ranking higher, as 55% of participants indicated plans to invest in stocks.
Millennial ETF investors showed even stronger enthusiasm for crypto, with 62% intending to allocate funds to the sector, compared to 48% for U.S. stocks, 47% for bonds, and 46% for real assets like commodities.
In contrast, baby boomer ETF investors demonstrated significantly less interest in digital assets, with just 15% planning to invest in them.
“Pretty stunning,” Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said about crypto’s high ranking in investment plans in the survey.
