Interest in crypto continues to grow as Americans show their excitement for the future of digital assets. The first annual Crypto Trust Survey released by publicly traded cryptocurrency platform Voyager Digital examined Americans’ experiences with crypto and their outlook on how crypto will perform in 2022.

The report shows many positive sentiments. The survey results revealed that nearly two-thirds of respondents declared themselves to be crypto bulls while 61% mentioned that they are likely to buy crypto this year. Although Voyager did not disclose the exact number of respondents, the results show a huge percentage increase over results from a previous survey showing that only 27% of Americans planned to invest in crypto in 2021.

Survey results also indicated that participants prioritized buying crypto over buying mutual funds, air travel, buying a new car, buying a new home and starting a romantic relationship.

The topic of educating young minds about crypto was also highlighted in the survey. Data shows that 66% of Americans believe cryptocurrency should be taught in high school or earlier, with 33% believing it should happen even earlier in middle school or earlier.

The survey also revealed that many are willing to invest more based on their understanding of crypto. 50% of participants indicated that they would invest more in cryptocurrency if they understood it better.
