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.
