Virtual Currency Gains Popularity Among Hong Kong Investors

According to Odaily, Futu has released the '2025 Hong Kong Individual Investor Survey Report,' revealing that virtual currencies are increasingly becoming the preferred asset allocation for the new generation. The report highlights that 77% of Generation X virtual currency investors, born in 1980 or earlier, are optimistic about the long-term appreciation potential of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2006, places greater emphasis on the convenience and security of virtual currency investments. They believe that owning 'two Bitcoins' provides more security compared to the 'million-dollar down payment' required for property ownership. The proportion of Generation Z optimistic about virtual assets is three times that of those favoring real estate. Additionally, the report indicates that the top five trading frequency sectors for 2024 are AI technology, new energy, WSB popular concept stocks, virtual currency concept stocks, and health pharmaceuticals.
