Major American Crypto Uptake Surge Revealed in Latest Study by Germany's Financial Powerhouse

An investor survey published by German banking giant Deutsche Bank revealed a renewed increase in cryptocurrency adoption in the US. After hitting a low of 7% in February, the adoption rate rose to 12% in March, returning to levels projected for July 2025.

The report highlighted the recovery in institutional demand as a notable factor. It noted a net inflow of approximately $1.3 billion into spot Bitcoin ETFs in March, which was described as a significant factor supporting market confidence. Despite this, individual investors appeared to maintain a cautious stance regarding price expectations. According to the survey, 19% of US participants predict that the price of Bitcoin will be between $20,000 and $60,000 by the end of 2026. Thirteen percent believe the price could fall below $20,000, while only about 3% anticipate Bitcoin reaching its peak levels above $120,000 again.

The data also revealed that Bitcoin maintains its clear leading position among crypto investors. Approximately 70% of investors hold Bitcoin in their portfolios, significantly higher than stablecoins like Tether and USD Coin. On the other hand, while 69% of participants stated they preferred Bitcoin for future investments, gold and the S&P 500 index still hold stronger positions in overall investment preferences. The research also revealed that crypto adoption is still predominantly concentrated among men and high-income groups, but women and lower-income investors are increasingly participating in the market.
