A recent survey organized by Policygenius and YouGov resulted in the enhanced interest of American Gen Z and Millennials towards digital assets.
As per the survey, 20% of individuals between the ages of 18 to 26 own<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/04/10/germanys-trust-in-cryptocurrencies-is-back-surveyed-by-kpmg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> cryptocurrencies</a>, whereas 18% hold stocks. 13% of the individuals own real estate and 11% are likely to own bonds.
Owning real estate and bonds is the least accepted by Generation Z due to affordability. In contrast to this, Millennials between the ages of 27 to 42 recorded more interest in stocks. 22% of Millennials in America own cryptocurrency, 27% invest in stock assets, and 24% in real estate cars.
Due to great recessions, the craze for home affordability is low among investors. High interest rates, low housing stock, and stagnating incomes have put home affordability out of reach for most Generation Z and Millennials.
Talking about baby boomers, they are likely to adhere to traditional investment patterns with 33% ownership in stocks and 45% in real estate. Additionally, their engagement in crypto and NFTs is minimal, investing 5% in crypto and 1% in NFTs.
Based on the report, all generations value financial professionals and investments, but older generations including Gen Z and millennials are more likely to consult social media first before making any financial investment. Gen X and baby boomers, on the other hand, are least involved in social media consultation for any financial investments.&nbsp;
Gen Z and millennials have used at least one financial “hack” like no-spend challenges or infinite banking and are more popular over social media. No-spend challenges have significant engagement on TikTok with over 90 million views.&nbsp;
The survey also explored the emotional aspects of the investors and individuals who indulge in financial practices. As per the survey results, 31% of baby boomers are satisfied with the way they manage their finances, whereas only 31% of Generation Z are experiencing the same level of pride.
