According to a survey by American educational platform Preply, 60% of cryptocurrency investors do not understand the basics of blockchain technology.

Approximately 40% of Zoomer crypto investors surveyed by Preply are unsure of their basic knowledge of cryptocurrencies. This uncertainty is even stronger among millennials (35%) and Gen Xers (32%).

At the same time, people from Generation X have the highest share (57%) of people who want to learn more about virtual assets. And among zoomers, only 41% are ready to study blockchain technologies.

The authors of the study claim that interest in digital assets other than cryptocurrencies also varies depending on generation.

12% of millennials surveyed have invested in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) at least once, while just 4% of older baby boomers have invested in NFTs.

US residents who have invested in collectible tokens tend to invest in other virtual assets. According to the study's authors, this is the first step towards exploring other digital assets.

Previously, the results of a study conducted by the US Federal Reserve showed that over the past year, 18 million American adults (7% of the population) invested in digital assets.
