New Survey Finds 8 Percent of Americans Own Digital Currency

A survey by Finder.com shows that 8 percent of Americans own cryptocurrency, with another 8 percent planning to buy in the future. Unsurprisingly, men twice as likely to own digital currency than women, and Millennials are far more likely to own crypto than any other generation. The survey showed that 17 percent of Millennials own cryptocurrency, with only 9 percent of Generation X and 2 percent of Baby Boomers claiming to own any. Of the respondents that didn’t own any cryptocurrency, 40 percent didn’t see a need and 35 percent thought it was too risky.
