The 2024 State of Crypto Report shows that Gen Z is leading in crypto ownership. Over 51% of individuals aged 18-29 reported owning cryptocurrency, contrasting sharply with the overall population’s 35%. This reflects a deeper integration of digital assets within this demographic.
The survey indicates that 48% of Gen Z considers crypto a primary income source, surpassing the general population’s 41%. Furthermore, 42% of U.K. Gen Z crypto owners utilize their assets as a hedge against inflation, demonstrating their investment strategies.
Despite regulatory discussions, only 31% of Gen Z advocates for increased government oversight of crypto, compared to 46% of the general populace. This skepticism towards regulation could influence future policies as Gen Z’s engagement shapes the crypto landscape.
