According to a new survey, crypto is becoming popular among Russian investors<\/a>, displacing traditional investment products such as gold. They see digital financial assets as an investment tool rather than just a \u201chype product.\u201d <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"77%<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Association of Forex Dealers (AFD), a local self-regulatory group\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> focused on the foreign exchange market in Russia, polled 502 Russian investors to get a sense of how they feel about cryptocurrencies. The survey, which was performed from August 4 to August 24, 2021, was released on August 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC) are the \u201cmost forward-looking\u201d investment, according to roughly 77 percent of respondents in the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 8.8% of respondents said gold is the best investment, while 14 percent said \u201cfamiliar national currencies\u201d are the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 23% of respondents have never used digital currencies, according to the survey. Over 77 percent of those surveyed said they were considering investing in crypto<\/a> in the near future, while only 7.6 percent said they were strongly opposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining 15% stated they haven't made up their minds about whether or not to invest in cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to AFD CEO Evgeny Masharov, the survey shows that Russian investors now view digital financial assets as an investment rather than a “hype product.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After savings accounts, foreign currencies, real estate, and life insurance, according to a survey conducted by the World Gold Council last year, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin were the sixth most popular investment vehicle in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of the survey will be sent to the Bank of Russia and the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets<\/a>, according to the AFD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that Russian investors are increasingly placing bets on cryptocurrencies, the country's central bank continues to take a hard line on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elvira Nabiullina, the governor of the Bank of Russia, named cryptocurrency one of the riskiest investing tools currently available in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Russian central bank<\/a> is dubious about private cryptocurrencies, it is now focusing on building the digital ruble, the Bank of Russia's central bank digital currency initiative, which is set to begin trials in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
