DIGIVESTASI - Based on findings from a Preply study, around 40% of Gen Z crypto investors in the United States lack confidence in their knowledge about cryptocurrencies.

According to Bitcoin.com on Monday (May 27, 2024), this lack of confidence is even more pronounced among millennials (35%) and Gen X (32%). The study also revealed that 60% of crypto investors in the US "do not know what blockchain is."

Despite this, data shows that 27% of those who have never invested in crypto express interest in taking classes and learning more about it.

When grouped by gender, the study found that 54% of men and 53% of women surveyed are interested in learning more about crypto. In terms of generational interest, Gen X has the highest proportion (57%) of individuals wanting to learn more.

Gen Z, with 41% expressing interest in learning about crypto, has the lowest proportion of individuals interested in learning. The study also found that interest in digital assets other than crypto varies across generations.

For example, 12% of surveyed millennials reported having invested in non-fungible tokens (NFTs), compared to only 4% of Baby Boomers.

Commenting on the findings related to crypto investors' interest in NFTs and the metaverse, the survey report stated: “Only 42% of survey respondents expressed confidence in their understanding of NFTs and the metaverse. This indicates an opportunity to educate the public on these topics."

This also might explain why only 11% are interested in investing in NFTs, while 32% are more interested in joining the metaverse. However, the report noted that US residents who have invested in NFTs also tend to invest in crypto, suggesting that this might be the first step in exploring other digital assets.
