According to a survey commissioned by insurance platform Policygenius and conducted by YouGov, one-fifth of American adults under the age of 42 own cryptocurrencies. The survey also found that Generation Z adults are more likely to hold cryptocurrencies than stocks, as they adopt different approaches to financial planning compared to the older generation.
The “2024 Policygenius Financial Planning Survey,” released on Tuesday (9th), revealed that among the surveyed Generation Z adults (aged 18 to 26 at the time of the survey), approximately 18% own stocks and 20% own cryptocurrencies. In the Millennial generation (aged 27 to 42), 27% own stocks and 22% own cryptocurrencies.
For reference, 33% of Baby Boomers (aged 59 to 77) own stocks, with only 5% owning cryptocurrencies, and a staggering 45% owning real estate. 27% of Generation X (aged 43 to 58) own stocks, and 10% own cryptocurrencies.
