FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for December 21, 2021

Crypto Industry News:

2021 turned out to be the year of cryptocurrency adoption, with institutional investments in cryptocurrencies and millennials turning into millionaires made headlines.

A new survey revealed that the majority of Gen Y millionaires have invested a significant portion of their portfolio in cryptocurrencies and plan to continue their cryptocurrency investments in 2022. The survey included investors with assets of $ 1 million or more, and 83% of millionaires surveyed revealed that they had made investments in cryptocurrencies.

53% of all survey respondents said 50% or more of their wallet is cryptocurrency. Nearly a third of respondents have invested at least three-quarters of their wealth in crypto assets. While the survey results may come as a surprise to many, those who followed the 2021 crypto boom would know how the TikTok generation of investors made millions of dollars in meme cryptocurrency investments.

The study also revealed a huge generation gap in terms of investment. On the one hand, millennials invest up to 50% of their wealth in cryptocurrencies, while on the other hand, only 4% of the older generation have invested in digital assets and only a quarter of Generation X owns cryptocurrencies.

George Walper, president of the Spectrem Group who conducted the survey, said the growing interest of a new generation in the emerging cryptocurrency market could prove to be a problem for wealth managers. He believes these traditional managers would need to rethink their approach to future investors.
