European investors ranked crypto above retirement plans for lasting wealth creation, while prior surveys show US investors are skeptical on crypto’s role in retirement accounts.

Investors in several of Europe’s biggest economies ranked crypto above retirement plans as lasting wealth creation tools, with 19% of those surveyed choosing cryptocurrencies, while 8% opted for traditional retirement plans.

US investors still preferred traditional retirement plans, with 21% choosing retirement accounts while only 12% opted for cryptocurrencies, according to a Thursday OKX survey of 1,932 adults age 18 to 88 who previously invested in crypto. The survey was conducted by Pollfish between Oct. 14 and Oct. 18 across the US, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland.

Excluding boomers, US investors generally are more bullish on cryptocurrency’s place in their portfolio, with 55% of surveyed participants expecting to increase their allocation in the next five years and 22% planning a significant increase.
