According to the most recent Federal Reserve<\/a> household survey, there were about 18 million fewer Americans who said they owned or used cryptocurrencies<\/strong> last year.<\/p>\n

According to the Fed’s <\/a>Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED), released on May 21, 7% of questioned U.S. adults said they used cryptocurrency<\/strong> in the 12 months to October of last year, down from 10% in 2022 and 12% in 2021.<\/p>\n

While 7% bought or stored cryptocurrency<\/strong> as an investment, just 1% of adults stated they use it as a payment method or to transfer money, down half from 2022.<\/p>\n

The Fed’s findings are far short of Coinbase’s much-touted lobbying claim that one in five, or 52 million, Americans possess cryptocurrency<\/strong>. A request for an explanation about how Coinbase came to the figure was not answered.<\/p>\n

Of the 1% who utilized cryptocurrency<\/strong> in a financial transaction, almost 30% claimed it was because the recipient or company liked it. Bank distrust was the least-mentioned cause.<\/p>\n

The poll revealed that those making $100,000 or more a year were more likely to have utilized cryptocurrency<\/strong> for any purpose overall.<\/p>\n

Additionally discovered were that adult Gen Zs between the ages of 18 and 29 and millennials, who range in age from 30 to 44, accounted for the majority of crypto <\/b>users. Three times as many males as women used cryptocurrency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
