The crypto economy, which is presently valued at $2.2 trillion at the time of writing, has seen substantial expansion over the last year. According to an NBC News poll, one out of every five Americans has used cryptocurrency in some way, and the popularity among men is particularly high.

Crypto assets and the sector were evaluated positively by 19 percent of those polled, while crypto was viewed poorly by 25%. From March 18 to March 22, 1,000 adults were polled, with a “margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.”
Many polls have attempted to measure the amount of Americans who have heard of or possess a fraction of crypto assets over the years. For example, Survey Monkey and the Global Blockchain Business Council conducted a survey of 5,761 American citizens over four years ago.
According to the poll results, 21% of respondents were “considering adding it to their portfolios” in 2018 and 5% had digital assets in their possession. Males were the supermajority by 58 percent in a survey conducted by Survey Monkey in 2018, similar to the NBC News poll.
