Pew Research shows that the adoption of crypto assets in the United States is still slowly rising. About one in five American adults said they have invested in or used digital assets, a figure of 19%, close to the 16% recorded in 2021.

Party differences widen

The survey also revealed a more pronounced political divide in Americans' use of crypto assets. Usage among Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters rose from 16% in 2021 to 22%, while among Democrats it remained at 17%.

Young men participated more.

Significant differences were also observed across age and gender. Among men aged 18 to 29, 38% reported having invested in, traded, or used cryptocurrencies; compared to 15% for women in the same age group. The usage rate for men aged 30 to 49 reached 40%.

High-income groups are more active

Pew also found that higher-income households are more likely to have access to this asset class. Among upper-income households, about 27% of adults said they had used or invested in crypto assets.
