Kraken Survey: Majority of Investors with Both Stocks and Crypto Expect Digital Assets to Outperform Over Next Decade
According to a recent survey by crypto exchange Kraken, most investors who hold both cryptocurrencies and stocks believe digital assets will outperform equities in the next ten years.
The survey, conducted among over 1,000 U.S. adults, found that 65% of those owning both asset classes expect crypto to deliver higher returns than stocks, while 35% favored equities.
Looking ahead, nearly 70% plan to increase their crypto allocations within the year, with men showing stronger commitment than women (74% vs. 59%).
Over the past 12 months, 42% of respondents said their crypto investments outpaced their stock portfolios, compared to 31% who reported better stock performance.
Confidence in crypto is also growing, with 61% saying their belief in digital assets has strengthened, versus 53% for traditional equities.
Interestingly, crypto is emerging as a preferred “crisis asset”: when asked where they would invest fresh capital amid global uncertainty, 33% chose crypto, surpassing equities at 20% and cash at 19%.
Mark Greenberg, Kraken’s global head of consumer, noted that this reflects a broader shift in how investors view crypto.
“Dual-asset investors are increasingly treating cryptocurrency as a fundamental growth driver rather than just a speculative bet,” he said.
The survey’s findings come as exchanges like Kraken continue integrating traditional equities trading alongside cryptocurrencies, highlighting the ongoing convergence between the two markets.
