A recent survey conducted by Kraken indicated that 73% of American cryptocurrency holders intend to reinvest in 2025, reflecting a sense of assurance among current investors.
The research gathered responses from 2,537 Americans and discovered that many cryptocurrency holders are planning to reinvest in 2025.
US Citizens Finally View Crypto as Viable
This suggests a transition towards recognizing digital currencies as a legitimate financial instrument. Among those surveyed, 43% believe that cryptocurrencies provide more economic security compared to traditional banking. Additionally, 52% view it as a solid long-term investment.
The survey further reveals that 55% of Americans, regardless of cryptocurrency ownership, acknowledge the practical utility of digital assets. Nevertheless, 29% remain uncertain about the future of the sector.
While the survey underscores a sense of optimism, it also uncovers enduring misconceptions regarding blockchain technology. The findings indicate that 60% of participants perceive cryptocurrencies as mainly associated with illegal activities.

This confidence may stem from their experiences during two significant economic downturns:
- the 2008 Great Recession
- the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020
These incidents likely diminished their faith in traditional currencies, which faced challenges due to high inflation. This aligns with findings from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) indicating that over seven million adults in the UK possess cryptocurrency assets.
Conversely, the survey suggests that Generation Z appears to have the least trust in cryptocurrencies. Only 32% of individuals aged 18 to 29 believe that crypto is beneficial in daily life. This may be attributed to their ongoing education about how cryptocurrencies function and their uncertainties regarding its future.
