American cryptocurrency investors intend to increase their digital asset holdings over the next 12 months, according to research released by Charles Schwab. The survey indicates that 60% of current cryptocurrency owners plan to allocate more capital to the asset class. [1][4]

The appetite for increasing cryptocurrency allocations surpassed that for traditional assets measured in the research. Bitcoin Magazine reported that 56% of investors planned to increase allocations to exchange-traded funds, 52% to stocks, and 42% to bonds. [1]

Separate data highlights generational differences among market participants. TradingView and TOKENPOST both reported that 64% of millennial cryptocurrency holders plan to increase their digital asset positions. [5][6]

The Charles Schwab Corporation is a multinational financial services firm based in Westlake, Texas, that offers commercial banking, brokerage, and wealth management services. As of December 31, 2024, the firm managed 10.1 trillion dollars in client assets across 36.5 million active brokerage accounts. [9]
