The CEO of Ripple reveals startling U.S. crypto statistics
According to U.Today, Brad Garlinghouse disclosed an unexpected figure regarding cryptocurrency ownership in the United States earlier this week. The National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) was the publisher of the report that Garlinghouse highlighted.
Data from it shows that a startling 21 percent of Americans own cryptocurrency. Furthermore, 75% of those that owned cryptocurrency in the US acknowledged that it had improved their lives. Garlinghouse went on to emphasize the significance of groups like NCA, stating that they are highlighting the real-world, daily applications that crypto can be used for.
As to the said research, men constitute 70% of the U.S. holders enunciated above. They are working in areas such as banking, technology, construction. Only 15% of the holdings are over 55, with over half being millennials.
The survey also found that approximately 73% of respondents are eager for the U.S. to become a global leader in the crypto space, and they likely support the steps taken by U.S. President Trump in this direction, such as the creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which currently has nearly 100,000 BTC in it. Oddly, about 39% of all holders have used cryptocurrency to pay for purchases, while the majority (52%), however, do not go beyond investing in cryptocurrency and are simply sitting on it.
