The survey found that 49% of respondents moved further into <span>crypto<\/span> since January, as concern about future dollar purchasing power becomes more widespread among active American <span>crypto<\/span> traders.<\/p>\n<p>The survey of 1,000 Americans who trade <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> highlights the scale of that concern. OKX said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNinety percent of respondents said they are concerned the US dollar will significantly lose purchasing power over the next five years. The sharper number: 45% chose \u2018extremely concerned,\u2019 making dollar anxiety the most common response in the survey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Millennials reported the highest level of extreme concern at 49%, compared with 44% of Gen Z, 39% of Gen X, and 32% of Boomers. The concern has translated into allocation changes. Nearly half of respondents said they increased <span>crypto<\/span> holdings in response to <span>inflation<\/span> concerns over the past six months. More than one-quarter said they did so within the last month. Forty percent said they moved more than 10% of their portfolio into <span>crypto<\/span>, while 15% said they moved more than 20%.<\/p>\n<h2> <span>Bitcoin<\/span> Gains Wealth-Preservation Support Among Traders<\/h2>\n<p> <span>Bitcoin<\/span> also stood out in the survey\u2019s wealth-preservation findings. Forty-seven percent of respondents said they view <span>bitcoin<\/span> primarily as a store of value, while 16% said the opposite. Among those who see <span>bitcoin<\/span> that way, 33% said their conviction has strengthened since the start of 2026. <span>Gold<\/span> remained the most trusted wealth-preservation asset overall, cited by 32% of respondents. <span>Bitcoin<\/span> ranked second at 26%. Among Gen Z, however, <span>bitcoin<\/span> led <span>gold<\/span> by 28% to 21%. That result shows a different preference among younger <span>crypto<\/span> traders when comparing digital assets with traditional wealth-preservation assets.<\/p>\n<p>Longer-term expectations point in the same direction. OKX said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOn the longer-term outlook, 73% said they expect <span>crypto<\/span> to play a larger role in the global financial system a decade from now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Only 3% said they view <span>crypto<\/span> as a passing trend.
