SAN FRANCISCO / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – A new study shows that young investors are increasingly shunning the traditional financial system and instead focusing on cryptocurrencies and other non-traditional assets. This development is driven by growing dissatisfaction with existing opportunities for wealth creation.

Coinbase’s latest study, conducted by Ipsos, highlights a significant shift in the investment preferences of young investors. While the share ownership rate between younger and older generations is almost identical, the portfolio compositions differ significantly. Younger investors, particularly from Generation Z and Millennials, invest three times more in non-traditional assets such as cryptocurrencies, derivatives and private equity compared to older generations.
This development reflects a growing distrust of the traditional financial system, which many young people see as inadequate to achieve their financial goals. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, emphasizes that younger generations are increasingly feeling excluded from traditional wealth creation routes and are therefore looking for alternative investment opportunities.
The study also shows that younger investors are more willing to take risks and trade more frequently. Nearly 30% of younger respondents say they trade at least once a week, compared to just 10% of older investors. They also use leveraged products more frequently and seek higher returns through risky investments. These trends underscore the need for more flexible and accessible financial markets that are available 24/7.
Another interesting aspect of the study is the way young investors gather information and make decisions. They rely less on traditional financial advisors and prefer to educate themselves, often through social media and online platforms such as TikTok, Reddit and YouTube. In the long term, this development could change the role of traditional financial advice and promote new business models in the area of social and copy trading platforms.
