Kraken Survey Finds Majority of Investors Expect Crypto to Outperform Stocks Over Next Decade

A new survey by Kraken reveals that most investors who hold both cryptocurrencies and stocks are confident digital assets will surpass equities in growth over the next 10 years.

Polling more than 1,000 U.S. adults, the report shows 65% of dual-asset investors anticipate stronger returns from crypto compared to just 35% who favor stocks.

Nearly 70% plan to boost their crypto holdings in the coming year, with men expressing greater confidence (74%) than women (59%).

Over the past year, 42% of respondents said their cryptocurrency investments outperformed their stock portfolios, while 31% reported the opposite.

Confidence in digital assets is also on the rise—61% say their faith in crypto has increased, compared to 53% for traditional equities.

Crypto is increasingly viewed as a “crisis hedge,” with 33% of investors indicating they would allocate new funds to digital assets during times of global uncertainty, ahead of equities (20%) and cash (19%).

Mark Greenberg, Kraken’s global head of consumer, highlighted the changing perception.

“Dual-asset investors now see crypto not as a speculative gamble but as a key growth element in their portfolios,” he said.

This shift coincides with crypto platforms like Kraken expanding into traditional finance by offering stock trading, blurring the lines between digital and conventional markets.
