The poll explains how millennials, xennials, and Gen Xers invest in digital assets. \u201cThe popularity of crypto assets varied by age,\u201d the new Cryptovantage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptovantage.com\/crypto-investment-philosophies\/\">report<\/a> called \u201cGenerational Philosophies on Investing in Crypto,\u201d explains.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrypto-assets represented 12% of the average millennial portfolio, compared to 9.2% of the average xennial portfolio and only 6.3% of the average Gen Xer portfolio,\u201d the study details. \u201cDespite this larger proportional holding, millennials were not the most likely to report making a profit in cryptocurrency investing. Xennials, with the largest total investment, were the most likely to make a profit off crypto assets at 80.5%, compared to 76.2% of millennials and just 71.5% of Gen Xers.\u201d The survey adds:<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that 3 in 4 people profited off cryptocurrency investments overall.<\/p>\n<p><!-- growjs zone placement 31 -->    <!-- end of growjs zone placement --> <\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Is the Most Popular Digital Asset, Xennials Prefer Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin<\/h2>\n<p>The survey indicates that across all the generational participants, bitcoin (<a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\">BTC<\/a>) was the most popular and besides <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\">BTC<\/a>, Millennials and Gen Xers preferred ethereum (<a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\">ETH<\/a>).

Roughly 39% of the 1,044 respondents also explained that Elon Musk was beneficial to the cryptocurrency ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXennials were the most likely to start investing in cryptocurrencies because they believed they offer security and transparency and will give them greater independence,\u201d the Cryptovantage report author wrote. \u201cGen Xers were the least likely to believe those same ideas; however, they were more likely than both millennials and xennials to view cryptos as the currency of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about the study that shows 3 in 4 crypto investors have profited from crypto investments?
