The ING International Survey reveals how cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are perceived in 2018 across Europe, the USA and Australia. They define cryptocurrency, in part, as a kind of digital currency not created or secured by the government but by a network of individuals.
News about cryptocurrency has been in the headlines through 2017 and 2018. Bitcoin prices rocketed to $13,860 in December 2017 yet slid back to $6926 by March 2018 − when the responses to their survey were collected.
So it’s no surprise that two in three (66%) in Europe have heard of the technology − although higher shares of males (77%) reply that they have heard of cryptocurrency than females (55%). What is a surprise, though, is that younger age brackets − especially people aged 25–34 or 35–44 − are not much more likely to agree they have heard of cryptocurrency than other age groups. Those who already use their smartphone, tablet or wearable to bank “on the go” − the mobile bankers of our survey − are more likely to say they have heard of cryptocurrency (69%) than those who do not bank using their mobile device (59%).
