The Economist and Crypto.com interviewed more than three thousand consumers about their trust in public and private cryptographic currencies.
Survey participants trust digital currencies issued by central banks more than decentralised ones: 38% of respondents do not trust decentralised cryptov currencies and 26% believe in them. A quarter of respondents answered that they do not know the question, while 11% do not have a definite opinion.
For comparison, 54% of respondents said that they would trust such an asset, and only 14% of respondents would not. 23% of respondents expressed a "balanced" assessment, while 9% do not know about cryptov currencies at all.
"State cryptocurrencies are beginning to be covered in the mass media, and the cryptocurrency industry should use this opportunity. The crypt-currency industry needs to strengthen security, privacy and training issues," said Eric Anziani, CEO of Crypto.com.
It is interesting that among representatives of financial organizations 40% of respondents expressed confidence in digital currencies. Large technology companies can boast the result of 36%. Almost everyone knows about digital currencies.
"We were pleasantly surprised by what people know about crypt currencies. This figure has markedly exceeded our expected 85% threshold," stressed Anziani.
At the same time, according to the survey results, more than a third believe that online payments will be the best use of cryptov currencies. Also popular answers were "short-term investments", "illegal transactions" and "means of accumulation.
More than 3 thousand people took part in the survey from January to February this year. Half of the respondents were from developed countries: USA, UK, France, South Korea, Australia and Singapore. The other half of the respondents lived in Brazil, Turkey, Viet Nam, South Africa and the Philippines.
Earlier, the Australian Central Bank reported that 1% of Australians paid for consumer goods using cryptovoltaic, but 80% had heard of cryptovoltaic assets.
