Gen Z Cryptocurrency Ownership Hits 51%

More than half of Gen Z adults worldwide now own or have owned cryptocurrency, according to a new survey by Gemini. The survey, conducted by Data Driven Consulting Group between May and July 2024, polled 6,000 adults across the United States, United Kingdom, France, Singapore, and Turkey.

The survey found that 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 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.
