Cryptocurrency ownership in Germany 2020-2023, by age
Survey figures from the German Central Bank suggest that younger consumers were more likely to own a cryptocurrency in 2023 than their older counterparts. That year, 18-to 27-year-old survey respondents from Germany were several times more likely to own a digital currency such as Bitcoin than Germans aged 45 to 54 years old. The source does not mention specifically which virtual coin this concerns - although the survey question suggests an emphasis on Bitcoin.
