A survey shows that 65% of Generation Z plans to invest in cryptocurrency this year.

Cryptocurrency continues to experience strong fluctuations, but this has never deterred young investors. Despite price volatility and regulatory intervention, interest in cryptocurrency remains undiminished — especially among the Gen Z generation.

Coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana still hold prominent positions, and despite the ups and downs, many young investors remain steadfast in keeping them in their long-term investment portfolio rather than just seeking short-term profits.

According to a recent report from YouGov, Gen Z is more likely to invest in 2025 than any other generation, even though they are aware of the risks involved. In fact, 84% of Gen Z investors consider cryptocurrency a risk, but nearly 65% still plan to invest in this sector this year. This indicates an important point: Gen Z does not shy away from risk — they are looking for ways to manage it more intelligently.

Unlike previous generations, which often adhered to traditional strategies such as long-term index funds or working with financial advisors, Gen Z opts for a more self-directed approach. They turn to platforms offering fractional shares, low trading fees, and educational tools that help them understand better what they are buying. They are also willing to explore alternative assets — from cryptocurrencies and ETFs to digital collectibles and real estate crowdfunding.

So why cryptocurrency, even when the risks are clear?

For many young investors, it’s about potential. Cryptocurrency offers the opportunity for asset growth in a system that exists outside the status quo. It also aligns with the digital investment trend, where convenience, accessibility, and values such as decentralization or technological innovation play a more significant role than traditional performance metrics.

Financial advisors like Tyrone Ross Jr. are witnessing this change firsthand. Ross encourages young investors to prioritize education over chasing FOMO, especially when it comes to volatile assets like Bitcoin. He is less concerned about whether the price of Bitcoin will reach 100K and is more focused on helping people invest intentionally — steering clear of high fees and short-term thinking.

Key takeaway?

Gen Z is diving in — not just into cryptocurrency but also into investing in general. They are cautious, curious, and smarter than ever. Their investment portfolios may differ from their parents’, but the goals remain familiar: building wealth, maintaining flexibility, and making decisions aligned with personal values.
