A significant majority of Paul sees crypto assets as a way to diversify its investment portfolio, new research has established.
The results, published as Warsaw, also show that they are trying to regulate the market according to EU rules, indicating that almost everyone wants the government to support the blockchain industry.
Most poles recognize cryptocurrencies as assets
Cryptocurrency is becoming a regular asset in the eyes of Polish investors, and Bitcoin is a sought after.
The survey commissioned by Polish Exchange Zondacrypt is conducted by the Business Growth Review Analysis and Research Platform, among 1,188 adult citizens of various ages and backgrounds.
According to the author, one of its important findings is that cryptocurrencies are no longer a “revolution” in Poland. They are no longer “niche markets.”
The poll established that interest in digital coins is primarily driven by the desire to diversify the investments cited as the main reason for 81% of respondents to enter the space.
Major Polish Crypto News Outlet explained:
“In reality, this means that cryptocurrencies are treated like a different asset class rather than one-off speculation.”
At the same time, speculative motivations have yet to go away. This is because 41% declared they were seduced by the possibility of making quick profits.
At around 19%, the benefits of digital money such as quick and convenient payments are important. Another 11% are interested in the technology involved.
Only about 15% believe Crypto Investments can maintain the purchasing power of their savings. Their relatively small share indicates that most poles do not rely on cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation.
The core of the sample surveyed was made up of professionally active individuals of working age, with 66% of participants between the ages of 25 and 44, explaining the investment-oriented nature of the responses collected.
“This study revealed a mature pragmatism at the extreme. The dominant motivation is diversification, which is preferred by this age group, which, by definition, controls portfolio and disposable income.”
Polls register high expectations for government support
The publication of this study is consistent with delayed efforts to regulate the Polish blockchain sector. A controversial bill designed to convert new European markets into crypto assets (MICA) rules is still under consideration in the Polish Parliament.
The bill has been criticized by local crypto communities for introducing requirements that exceed EU standards and threatening the survival of the domestic digital asset industry. Compliance costs under MICA are also too high for small Polish crypto companies.
Official estimates released during Parliamentary debate show that around 18% of Polish citizens have already invested in crypto assets.
Meanwhile, the latest survey found that 91% of them want the government to support Polish blockchain operations. bitcoin.pl Comments:
“We have incentives to develop the sector not only by social acceptance, but by streamlining regulations and encouraging the operation of companies in the sector.”
“Instead of a restrictive retreat, expectations for aggressive and wise government policies can guide regulators and the financial community on how to build markets… with investors in mind that treat cryptocurrencies as part of their usual portfolio,” the article said.
The study also reveals that Poles have more trust in domestic organizations than foreign companies, such as traditional financial institutions and cryptocurrency platforms.
The National Bank of Poland received the highest rating, with an average score of 4 on a scale of 1-5, with commercial banks and licensed Polish crypto exchanges earning 3 points.
Poland’s Ministry of Finance and Foreign Exchange was similarly ranked fifth. This shows that Poles are cautious about both their regulatory authorities and coin trading platforms registered in other jurisdictions.
