Cryptocurrency ownership in Germany in 2020, by age

Survey figures from the German Central Bank suggest that younger consumers were more likely to own a cryptocurrency in 2020 than their older counterparts. That year, 18-to 27-year old survey respondents from Germany were three times more likely to own a digital currency such as Bitcoin than Germans aged 45 to 54 years old. The source does not mention specifically which virtual coin this concerns - although the survey question suggests an emphasis on Bitcoin. As with several other domestic surveys that were released in late 2020 or early 2021, it should be noted that the results shown here are from before the price of Bitcoin started its ascend towards a value of 60,000 U.S. dollars.
