The survey included 3,000 respondents aged 18 to 65 with annual family income above $40,000. Only 23% of them reported no interest in digital assets.

“Trading platforms are making cryptocurrencies accessible and attractive. We view digital assets as a strategic part of a well-thought-out portfolio. Providing knowledge will help remove barriers to entry,” — in an interview with Decrypt, Gemini’s CEO Noah Perlman.

Among respondents, one in seven turned out to be cryptocurrency owners. 13% of respondents plan to purchase digital assets in the next 12 months, which would double the holder base.

According to the study, the ‘average’ crypto investor is a 38-year-old man with an annual income of around $111,000. The authors note that this profile remains subject to notable changes.

As noted in January 2021, Gemini’s study showed that 13% Britons invested in cryptocurrencies.

In February 2021, a Piplsay survey showed that 41% Britons equally assessed the risks of investing in digital assets and stocks.
