Wealthy People Interest in Cryptocurrencies. According to the publication of the corporate consulting company Capgemini (headquartered in France), almost 60% of rich respondents showed interest in investing in the cryptocurrency market. This statistics was published in World Wealth Report 2018.
Based on the published data, about 29% of all respondents show a high interest in cryptocurrencies. While 26.9% of respondents are only interested in digital assets. The indicators of interest depend on the region. For example, for Latin America this sphere is most interesting, next is the Asia-Pacific region.
In the study conducted in the first quarter of 2018, 2,600 people from such regions as North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region took part. Almost 80% of all respondents control 1-5 million US dollars in the cryptocurrency. In turn, about 2% - already have 20 million US dollars in cryptocurrencies. All the rest control from 5 to 20 million dollars.
The potential of cryptocurrency as an investment and value is exactly what stimulates interest in this industry. Most often, people in the age of 40 are interested in the digital assets market.
The report notes:
"Given the context of regulatory mis-steps and reputational damage since the financial crisis, many wealth management firms are tending towards being conservative when it comes to cryptocurrencies, at least until they are better understood"
A separate report by Knight Frank specializing in real estate says that about 21% of respondents say about increasing their investments in cryptocurrencies last year. At the same time, even a year ago, the understanding of digital assets was not as extensive as it is now. That's why the situation is improving every day@BPI
