Internal De-Dollarization: Study Finds 52% of Americans Prefer Crypto Over Traditional Assets
Internal de-dollarization has created a big shift in how Americans invest their money. More people now choose crypto over traditional assets as crypto adoption grows, even with market swings. A new ChainPlay and Storible survey shows that 68% of Americans own cryptocurrency. This marks a significant change in how people invest.
Why Americans Are Choosing Crypto Over Traditional Assets and the Impact of Market Volatility
The Shift from Traditional Assets to Cryptocurrency
The survey shows that 52% of Americans sold their stocks and gold to buy Bitcoin. This internal de-dollarization shift comes from recent political changes. “A major catalyst for this surge was President Trump’s election, which encouraged 38% of Americans to increase their investments in crypto. Among those who increased their portfolios following these events, 84% are first-time buyers, showing that political milestones are effectively attracting a new wave of crypto investors,” the survey report stated.
Generational Investment Patterns and Crypto Adoption
Young people lead this money movement. Gen Z starts buying crypto at age 22. Millennials begin at 29, while Baby Boomers start at 50. This shows crypto adoption is growing across all ages. Yet younger people buy more crypto than traditional assets.
Portfolio Allocation and Investment Strategies
One in five Americans puts over 30% of their money in crypto. This shows Americans prefer crypto when spreading out their investments. Half of these investors put 30% of their crypto money in memecoins. They do this despite crypto market volatility risks.
Future Outlook and Market Sentiment
Internal de-dollarization keeps growing as 60% of investors think they’ll double their money by 2025. The survey found that two-thirds of crypto owners tell their families to try crypto adoption, too. This shows trust despite crypto market swings. Also, 77% of Americans plan to buy more crypto instead of traditional assets next year.
