About 20% of people born after 2001 tend to consider digital assets as a future retirement reserve, Bits.media analysts told Bits.media.

A Bitget Research study revealed changes in the approach of young people of the Zoomer (Z) and Alpha (A) generations to sources of savings for the period after the end of active work. According to the report of the study authors, about 20% of zoomers and children prefer high-tech investment instruments and are ready to receive funds in digital assets.

According to Bitget Research experts, this confirms the growing trust of young people in decentralized finance and infrastructure, which considers the classic pension savings system to be insufficiently transparent and flexible.

Bitget Research added that financial institutions need to adapt to new realities in advance. Because the “digital lifestyle” of representatives of generations Z and A, who grew up with gadgets in their hands and will soon become the main working force on Earth, tend to trust new technological solutions.

Earlier, Bitget Research analysts told Bits.media that by the end of 2024, the number of traders from the United Arab Emirates making daily transactions on global cryptocurrency platforms could exceed 700,000 people.
