Kraken launches custodial services in UK and AU

A recent survey conducted by the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has revealed growing optimism among American investors regarding cryptocurrencies. The study involved 2,191 adult U.S. residents, and the results show significant interest in digital assets.

According to the survey data, 73% of cryptocurrency holders plan to continue investing in digital assets in 2025. Of these, 45% expressed serious interest, while 29% stated the likelihood of such investments. Notably, 36% of respondents believe that cryptocurrencies have greater growth potential compared to traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.

In comparison, 34% of respondents see potential in stocks, 13% prefer bonds, and 17% believe in the growth of the real estate sector. This indicates growing confidence in digital assets among American investors.

Interestingly, 70% of respondents prefer Bitcoin over meme coins. Only 12% believe in the growth of meme coins, while 17% show interest in assets such as Solana (SOL). These data point to the maturity and experience of American investors in the crypto sphere.

Kraken researchers emphasize that the survey results demonstrate a high level of awareness and maturity among American investors regarding cryptocurrencies. They believe that digital coins can bring higher profits compared to traditional assets.

In the context of these results, it’s worth mentioning a recent report by analysts at the investment company Bernstein. They believe that the crypto market has not fully accounted for the possibility of positive regulatory changes in the event of Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election in the fall of 2024. This adds an interesting aspect to the overall picture of the future of cryptocurrencies in the U.S.

Thus, the Kraken survey and Bernstein analysis indicate growing optimism and interest in cryptocurrencies among American investors, as well as potential changes in the regulatory environment that could significantly impact the development of the cryptocurrency market in the U.S.
