Turkish crypto exchange Paribu recently released the results of its most comprehensive cryptocurrency awareness and perception survey. One of the study’s findings is that digital currency usage in Turkey has significantly increased in just one year.
The survey revealed that Turkey’s crypto usage rose to 7.7 percent this year, according to Paribu. This represents an 11-fold rise compared to last year, where a previous survey conducted in 2020 discovered that only 0.7 percent use digital currencies.
Named the “Cryptocurrency Awareness and Perception Survey 2021,” the study was conducted by Akademetre Research on behalf of Paribu. Researchers used face-to-face interviews on a sample group representing the whole of Turkey.
The study also revealed that more women are now trading in crypto compared to last year, where only 2 out if 10 crypto traders were women. This year, the study said that women now comprise 40 of traders (four out of 10).
The research also revealed that 74 percent of crypto users are satisfied with their transaction experience. Generation Y or millennials (born from 1981 to 1996) gave the highest satisfaction rating of 76.2 percent, followed by Gen X (1965 to 1980) with 75.9 percent, and Gen Z (1997 to 2012) with 58.3 percent.
The study also asked the sample group about the reasons for their satisfaction. The leading reason “profitability” with 41.3 percent of participants giving it as the main factor for their satisfaction, followed by “ease of operation” with 10 percent and “reliability” was given by 4.3 percent of the participants.
Bitcoin, the largest crypto by market cap, remains the most preferred crypto in Turkey with 7 out of 10 people say that they trade in BTC. Ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum platform is a distant second with 2 out of 10 survey participants say that they trade in the coin while only 1 in 10 trade in XRP.
