According to Cointelegraph, a recent study by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) reveals a decline in U.S. investors' interest in cryptocurrency investments. The study indicates that while the percentage of crypto investors remained stable at 27% from 2021 to 2024, the number of investors considering purchasing more or buying for the first time decreased from 33% in 2021 to 26% in 2024. This shift reflects a broader trend of reduced risk-taking behavior among investors. The FINRA study highlights a notable decrease in investors with high levels of investment risk, dropping from 12% to 8% between 2021 and 2024. The most significant decline was observed among investors under the age of 35, whose risk-taking behavior fell from 24% to 15%. Despite the steady number of crypto investors since the last study in 2024, the inclination to add cryptocurrency to investment portfolios has diminished. This trend is attributed to uncertainties surrounding interest rates, inflation, and the overall economic environment, prompting investors to seek safer assets. The study, conducted between July and December 2024, involved 2,861 U.S. investors and a state-by-state online survey of 25,539 adults. It found that 66% of respondents viewed crypto as a risky investment, up from 58% in 2021. Nonetheless, a third of investors expressed the belief that taking significant risks is necessary to achieve financial goals, with this sentiment rising to 50% among those aged 35 and under. Additionally, 13% of investors, including nearly one-third of individuals under 25, reported purchasing meme stocks and other viral investments. The pace of new investors entering the market has also slowed compared to 2021. Only 8% of investors reported entering the market in the last two years leading up to 2024, a decrease from 21% in 2021. FINRA noted that the surge of younger investors during the early pandemic period reversed as the pandemic ended, bringing the share of U.S. adults under 35 who invest back to 2018 levels. Overall, the study indicates a modest trend toward more cautious investment attitudes and behaviors compared to the 2021 survey.

According to PANews, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink described Bitcoin as a 'panic asset' during the DealBook Summit, suggesting that people purchase it due to concerns over fiat currency devaluation, financial instability, and geopolitical crises. Fink emphasized that Bitcoin is not a traditional 'hope asset' but gains popularity during periods of increased market uncertainty. Currently, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) manages assets worth approximately $80 billion, holding over 780,000 BTC. He also mentioned that sovereign funds are quietly increasing their holdings at high levels. However, Fink cautioned that Bitcoin's high volatility and susceptibility to leveraged funds make it unsuitable for short-term trading.
