Survey: Crypto Trial Rises Among Americans, But Active Use Stays Flat

TradingGain NewsroomTradingGain Newsroom··28 Oct 2026, 19:46 UTC

A new Ipsos survey for the DeFi Education Fund shows 22% of Americans have owned or used crypto at some point, up from 18%. Past-year use stayed steady at 13%, so fewer new users are staying active. For traders, this suggests wider interest in crypto has not yet turned into steadier demand.

Why it matters

  • Ever-used crypto rose from 18% to 22%, a sign that more people are trying it.
  • Past-year use held at 13%, so recent users are not increasing.
  • Trying crypto and keeping up with it are different, which may limit steady buying.

What to watch next

Watch the next survey update to see whether past-year use moves away from its current 13% level.
