According to the latest survey conducted by cryptocurrency exchange Huobi, the majority of cryptocurrency owners from the United States made their first crypto investments in 2021.
The survey covered 3,100 U.S. adults and was designed to gauge respondents' knowledge of cryptocurrencies, their sentiments and attitudes toward the crypto market. The study found that 68% of respondents first learned about crypto and started buying it in 2021. 21% of respondents started investing more than two years ago. 12% of Americans surveyed made their first crypto investments in the last four years, and 9% got into digital currencies more than four years ago.
