A survey conducted by Hong Kong brokerage firm Futu Securities reveals that Gen Z is significantly more optimistic about cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, compared to traditional investments such as real estate. The survey found that 23% of Gen Z respondents feel safer with just two Bitcoin in their portfolio than with HK$1 million ($128,400) for a down payment on a home. This indicates a major shift in how the younger generation views financial security. The convenience, security, and potential for higher returns offered by cryptocurrencies outweigh the benefits of traditional assets for 45% of Gen Z respondents. High earners, along with Gen X investors, are also showing optimism towards cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, for its long-term potential. The survey highlights the changing dynamics of wealth accumulation and the influence of Gen Z in reshaping financial paradigms and cultural trends.
