According to a report by Cointelegraph, a study by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) shows that while the proportion of investors holding cryptocurrencies will remain unchanged at 27% between 2021 and 2024, investors considering increasing their holdings or first-time purchases of cryptocurrencies will decrease from 33% in 2021 to 26% in 2024.
The share of high-risk investors fell 4 percentage points from 2021 to 8%, with investors under 35 falling the most, plummeting 9 percentage points to 15%. FINRA believes that interest rates, inflation and economic uncertainty have prompted investors to shift to safer assets.
The survey, which covered 2,861 investors and 25,539 adults, found that 66% of respondents view cryptocurrencies as a high-risk investment (up from 58% in 2021). However, one-third of investors believe they need to take a high level of risk to achieve their financial goals, with 50% of respondents under the age of 35.
The pace of new investors has also slowed markedly, with only 8% entering the market in the past two years, down from 21% in 2021. FINRA concluded that there is an overall moderate trend towards more cautious attitudes and behaviors.
