Survey of 1,932 US crypto investors reveals allocation plans and secrecy trends
Current overview (not historical)
A survey of 1,932 US crypto investors shows 22 percent plan to significantly increase holdings within five years, while 24 percent would hide sudden wealth to maintain relationships. Only 7 percent would disclose portfolio sizes to friends or family, reflecting US investors' low-key stance compared to broader attitudes. The study also notes European investors have lower increase intentions, and 65 percent of baby boomers view crypto as unimportant for intergenerational wealth. Additionally, the US Labor Department has proposed rules to facilitate crypto access in 401(k) plans.
