French investors increasingly prefer crypto over stocks, survey reveals

A new study reveals that more French investors own crypto than stocks and ETFs.

The latest findings from a comprehensive survey shed light on the evolving investment habits of French individuals, highlighting a significant shift towards digital assets and alternative investment methods, particularly among the younger demographic.

A notable trend is the rising interest in cryptocurrencies, with 9% of the populace owning digital currencies, surpassing those holding traditional stocks at 7% and ETFs with 2%. This surge in crypto investment signals a shift in the investment landscape, fueled partly by the pandemic.

France’s new wave of crypto investors

The demographic profile of these new investors is predominantly male, with a marked preference for cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) over traditional investment vehicles. Their investment decisions are largely influenced by non-professional sources, relying heavily on social media platforms and peer recommendations rather than seeking professional financial advice.

Interestingly, these new investors also demonstrate a strong inclination towards digital gambling and sports betting, a sector that has seen significant growth and digitization in recent years. This trend reflects a broader change in attitudes towards risk and investment.

Despite their enthusiasm, there is a concerning gap in financial knowledge among these investors. The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) found that a majority of younger respondents, especially those 18-to-24 years old, had limited understanding of fundamental financial concepts like inflation impact, diversification strategies, and risk-reward balances. Despite this, a significant portion of this group aims to achieve rapid financial gains, often without a solid understanding of the complexities involved.
