Gen Z Adults Worldwide Embrace Cryptocurrency in Record Numbers

A recent survey by Gemini found that more than half of Gen Z adults worldwide now own or have owned cryptocurrency.

The findings come from Gemini's 2024 State of Crypto Report, conducted by Data Driven Consulting Group between May and July 2024.

Among Gen Z respondents aged 18 to 29, 51% said they own or have previously owned cryptocurrency. This figure stands well above the 35% reported by the general population in the same survey.

In the U.S. alone, Gen Z ownership matched 51%, ahead of Millennials at 49% and Gen X at 29%. One in three U.S. Gen Z respondents said they would feel comfortable putting at least 5% of their portfolio into crypto, compared to 21% of the broader population.
