US opinion on stock market vs crypto 2023

US retail investors had a relatively strong opinion on whether the stock market was more profitable than investments in cryptocurrencies. Nearly 32 percent of the respondents to a survey listed crypto as potentially having the most risk, against almost 38 percent preferring the stock market over virtual currencies in terms of profitability. One potential reason why this could be found at the US opinion on risk: slightly more respondents felt that the stock market was a more risky to invest in. This is quite different from answers given to these same questions but by consumers from the United Kingdom.
