Coinbase has released survey findings regarding American cryptocurrency ownership, indicating a noticeable shift in mindset among participants. The data suggests a transition from a mere speculative approach of “gotta be in it to win it” to a broader and more optimistic perspective on adoption.
The report highlights that a majority of American cryptocurrency holders express discontent with the existing financial system.
Americans Embrace Crypto Adoption Over Speculation
According to a recent report, almost three-quarters of Americans and the majority of crypto holders within the nation are not satisfied with the current fees that traditional banks charge for transactions.
“71% of Americans – and 9 in 10 Americans crypto owners – want lower fees as part of a new, updated financial system.”
However, most cryptocurrency holders believe that crypto could serve as an alternative to the high transaction fees and sluggish processing times offered by traditional banks.

This suggests a positive shift in attitudes towards crypto investment, with fewer considering it merely a speculative gamble and more recognizing its potential for widespread adoption.
“76% of American crypto owners – those who know best – think crypto could make the financial system easier to access.”
However, in November 2023, crypto analyst Jamie Coutts highlighted that blockchain technology will see adoption irrespective of the crypto market’s positivity or negativity.
“Bear market/bull market adoption of blockchain technology continues unabated. Not having exposure to one of the largest structural trends of the next decade could be costly.”
Global Anticipation Builds for Crypto Adoption
It is not just Americans that are believing in the adoption of crypto and blockchain. More and more countries in Europe are starting to see the benefits that it could bring to the financial system.
