FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for November 14, 2023

Crypto Industry News:

A recent study conducted in France reveals an interesting trend among new investors. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are more popular there than stocks or ETFs. This interest is growing, especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. About 9% of French adults now own cryptocurrencies. That's more than the 7% who own stocks and the 2% who invest in ETFs.

The study included a large sample of over 8,000 people, of whom over 2,000 were novices. Most of this second group are young men. They prefer information from social media rather than from financial advisors. There are various motivations to invest: higher profits, pandemic or dynamic political and economic changes. Moreover, first observations indicate that almost every fourth Frenchman invests in financial instruments or cryptocurrencies.

A study conducted by the OECD for AMF provides deeper insight. It turned out that half of new investors started their business during the pandemic. These are mainly young people under 35, more often men, living in cities. They have higher than average income and education. They choose cryptocurrencies more often than experienced investors.
