The gap between how young and old Americans view cryptocurrency is wide and growing. Survey after survey points in the same direction: younger investors are far more likely to own, trust, and actively use crypto than their parents and grandparents. This article draws on data from Coinbase, OKX, YouGov, Pew Research, Cerulli Associates, Vanguard, FINRA, and a peer-reviewed academic study published in 2025. It covers who owns crypto, why they own it, how much they invest, and what the coming transfer of trillions in wealth could mean for digital asset markets.
