Nearly half of Americans surveyed are dissatisfied with crypto investment profits

46% of cryptocurrency holders in the United States earned profits from investments that were lower than expected. Data from the Pew Research Center poll, conducted among more than 6,000 respondents.

Fifteen percent of respondents said that profits from digital-asset investments exceeded their expectations.

About half of respondents had heard of NFTs, but only 2% had ever purchased them.

Women made up more than half of the respondents, with the majority of the sample aged over 50.

According to another survey conducted by the financial services provider deVere Group, nearly half of the 700 clients belonging to the baby boomer generation and Gen X already own digital assets or plan to acquire them by the end of 2022.

Nigel Green, CEO and founder of DeVere Group, believes that most people from the Gen X generation invest “within a retirement-planning framework.”

He also cautions Americans against investments without seeking advice from professional market participants first.

In June, the investment firm Alto found that nearly 40% of American millennials prefer investing in cryptocurrencies, rather than in traditional financial instruments.
