American women are still holding out as cryptocurrency owners, despite major market turmoil being experienced, according to a survey by global cryptocurrency financial services firm BlockFi.

Through the latest edition of the Real Talk survey, BlockFi suggested that crypto investors on US soil had a long-term perspective because they had adopted the buy-and-hold strategy. According to the report:

“When specifically asked what best describes their crypto investing style, the majority of female crypto owners (69%) said they own crypto and are just waiting.”

Flori Marquez, Founder and COO of BlockFi, added:

“The cryptocurrency landscape and the number of players look completely different than it did six months ago when we last published this survey, and yet faith in the cryptocurrency markets and their potential as a long-term investment strategy term remains. This resiliency is extremely promising.”

On the other hand, interest in this asset class has not significantly diminished among American women either. BlockFi noted:

“More than one in five women (22%) still intend to buy crypto in the next 12 months, down slightly from 28% a year earlier.”

Some of the reasons why women investors in the United States are attracted to CRYPTOCURRENCIES it is because they believe that it is an inflationary hedge. According to the survey:

“When asked, one in five women believe that cryptocurrencies are a good hedge against inflation. Furthermore, 20% of Gen Z women pointed to Bitcoin as the best long-term investment when presented with a list of options that included individual stocks and real estate.”

However, the study revealed a generation gap as one in ten women on US soil chose cryptocurrencies as their first investment.

Meanwhile, an Ipsos survey showed that the intention to invest in cryptocurrency or use it as a payment option was higher among Americans compared to Canadians, Blockchain.News reported.
