Generational Divide in Crypto Investment Strategies
Younger investors are rewriting the rules of crypto adoption. A 2025 survey reveals 56% of Gen Z and 62% of Millennials ramp up crypto purchases during price rallies—nearly double the enthusiasm of Baby Boomers (27%). The World Economic Forum notes 30% of Gen Z starts investing by university age, compared to just 6% of Boomers.
Digital natives treat crypto as a structural bet, not a retirement side-hustle. Nearly 20% of investors under 30 hold crypto exclusively, per recent data. Their strategy mirrors broader trends: opportunistic, impatient, and anchored in digital fluency rather than traditional equity.
