Kraken Survey Finds Majority of Investors Believe Crypto Will Outperform Stocks Over Next Decade
A new survey from Kraken shows that most investors who hold both cryptocurrencies and stocks expect digital assets to outpace equities in growth over the next 10 years.
Polling over 1,000 U.S. adults, the survey revealed that 65% of dual-asset investors are more bullish on crypto’s long-term prospects, compared to 35% favoring stocks.
Nearly 70% of respondents plan to increase their cryptocurrency holdings in the coming year, with men showing stronger enthusiasm (74%) than women (59%).
In the past year, 42% reported that their crypto portfolios outperformed their stock investments, while 31% saw better returns from equities.
Confidence in cryptocurrencies is also rising, with 61% saying they have grown more confident in digital assets, versus 53% for stocks.
When asked where they would allocate new funds during periods of global uncertainty, a third (33%) chose crypto, outpacing equities (20%) and cash (19%).
Mark Greenberg, Kraken’s global head of consumer, noted that this reflects a fundamental shift in investor attitudes.
“Crypto is no longer seen as a speculative outlier but as a central component of growth-focused portfolios,” he said.
The findings come as exchanges like Kraken increasingly offer stock trading alongside crypto, reflecting the blurring lines between traditional and digital finance.
