<span style="font-weight: 400">Surprisingly, a significant chunk of people (37%) said that they wouldn’t cash out their holdings at any cost. And to top it off, 51% indicated that they were less likely to exchange their crypto stash for luxury purchases.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On average, the survey participants were reportedly holding $1,707 worth of digital assets. Male respondents held a higher average amount ($1,940) than female respondents ($1,375) and showed greater interest in the asset class.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Baby Boomers Lead Debt Fuelled Crypto Purchases</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">While getting to the bottom of people’s income sources for crypto investments, the survey stumbled on a worrying trend. Nearly one in four respondents had used credit cards to purchase cryptocurrencies. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Also, despite holding an average of $1,707 worth of cryptos, these people had borrowed an additional $500 to afford their purchases. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Baby boomers were leading debt-fuelled buys with an average borrowing of $4,035. Almost 21% of participants were amenable to taking on consumer debt for further crypto purchases. Some 18% indicated that they would borrow from friends and family, while 11% would use their savings and 10% would refinance their homes to acquire more crypto assets.</span>
