There is a stereotype that cryptocurrency like Bitcoin are<br />

<strong>the</strong> way forward for Gen Z – in reality <strong>the</strong>y are too riskaverse<br />

to invest in it.<br />

70%<br />

of Gen Z’s are unlikely to buy<br />

cryptocurrency in <strong>the</strong> <strong>next</strong> 6 m<strong>on</strong>ths<br />

37%<br />

of young people d<strong>on</strong>’t yet trust<br />

cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin<br />

14%<br />

of Millennial and Gen Z participants cited a<br />

“lack of understanding” as <strong>the</strong>ir main<br />

reas<strong>on</strong> for not getting involved with crypto<br />

Gen Z will have to work very hard to attain<br />

ec<strong>on</strong>omic security, and <strong>the</strong>y’re not willing to risk<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir funds to invest in crypto. M<strong>on</strong>ey still needs to<br />

feel real and safe – something crypto just doesn’t<br />

offer to this generati<strong>on</strong> yet.<br />

Facebook’s new and c<strong>on</strong>troversial cryptocurrency - Libra<br />

Facebook could put a crypto wallet in <strong>the</strong> pers<strong>on</strong>al accounts<br />

of billi<strong>on</strong>s of people around <strong>the</strong> world, making m<strong>on</strong>ey<br />

transfers as easy as sending a message or a photograph<br />

today. Gen Z spend <strong>the</strong> majority of <strong>the</strong>ir time <strong>on</strong>line doing<br />

just this, which may make crypto more accessible to Gen Z<br />

and change <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>y perceive crypto.
