Survey: 16% of Brazilian Investors Already Hold Cryptocurrencies; 56% of Non-Investors Intend to Enter the Market
According to Livecoins, a joint survey by Mercado Bitcoin and Opinion Box found that cryptocurrencies are now included in the investment portfolios of 16% of Brazilian investors, while another 56% of respondents—who have never invested in crypto assets—indicated they intend to enter this market in the future. The survey states that digital assets are viewed more as a tool for portfolio diversification rather than a replacement for traditional investments.
