Mastercard: Awareness of Crypto is High, but Trust Needs to Be BuiltMastercard surveyed more than 35,000 respondents. Here are some takes from the survey:
40% of global consumers interacted with crypto over the last year, with some 30% opening a crypto wallet, trading currencies (27%), or holding them as investments (29%).
Around half of global consumers agree they are interested in other uses of crypto like making payments for everyday products (51%) or buying digital assets (49%).
Payments made using crypto almost doubled in the last year.
63% of respondents feel their governments should be responsible for regulating crypto and 59% agree they would feel more comfortable knowing digital currencies were issued and backed by a reputable organization.
Respondents ranked emerging payments such as crypto as less secure than using age-old cash or simply swiping a credit card.
53% say security plays a big role in deciding which payment method they want to use.
