60% of Americans see crypto investing as highly risky—but millennials are still its biggest fans
The majority of Americans increasingly see crypto as a chancy investment.
About 60% of Americans believe investing in digital currency is highly risky — up from 45% in 2021, according to the recent CNBC Make It: Your Money survey, conducted in partnership with Momentive. Another 26% believe it is moderately risky.
Younger generations, however, appear to be more willing to take a chance on crypto investing than older generations.https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/12/sixty-percent-of-americans-now-see-crypto-investing-as-highly-risky.

About 38% of Gen Zers (defined here as 25 and under) and 46% of millennials (defined here as age 26 to 41) say crypto investing is highly risky. On the other hand, a little over 60% of Gen Xers (defined here as age 42 to 57) and around 80% of baby boomers and the silent generation (defined here as age 58 and older) consider it to be high risk.
