A recent Gallup survey reveals that 14% of American adults currently own cryptocurrency, while 60% express no interest in purchasing it, and only 4% plan to buy crypto in the near future. Despite a recent market rebound that has driven investors toward riskier assets such as meme stocks, cryptocurrencies, and shares of smaller, unprofitable companies, the majority of U.S. investors continue to perceive cryptocurrency as a high-risk investment. Data from Goldman Sachs indicates that retail investors are increasingly focused on small-cap stocks in emerging sectors like crypto, artificial intelligence, retail, and quantum computing, rather than on broader indices such as the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq 100 (NDX). Additionally, 64% of U.S. investors holding stocks or bonds now consider cryptocurrency to be a "very risky" asset, up from 60% in 2021.
