A new study by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) reveals a decline in U.S. investor interest in cryptocurrency investments. While the percentage of crypto investors remained stable at 27% between 2021 and 2024, the number of individuals considering investing further or making their first foray into crypto decreased from 33% to 26% during this period. This shift reflects a broader trend of reduced risk-taking behavior among U.S. investors. The study found that the number of investors with high levels of investment risk declined significantly, dropping from 12% to 8% between 2021 and 2024. Notably, the most significant decline was observed in individuals under 35 years old, whose risk-taking behavior fell from 24% to 15%. Despite the steady number of crypto investors since the last study in 2024, the willingness to include cryptocurrency within their portfolios has diminished. This trend is attributed to uncertainties surrounding interest rates, inflation, and the overall economic environment, prompting investors to seek safer assets.
