ING: 15% of Europeans want to be paid in cryptocurrency
One of the largest banking groups in the European Union, ING, headquartered in the Netherlands, published the results of a public opinion survey in Europe, the US and Australia-ING International Survey Mobile Banking.
The study is the sixth and is conducted every year.
The technique is to collect the opinions of about 15 thousand people by conducting a telephone interview with them.
This study was called “Unraveling the essence of cryptocurrencies”, which emphasized the great role that cryptocurrencies began to play in modern life.
It is noted that interest in this phenomenon is growing rapidly and this trend will continue in the future.
The report says that “ 66% of Europeans said that they have heard about cryptocurrencies. 9% have already purchased it.
Another 16% said that they are going to buy it in the future, which means that the investment interest in cryptocurrencies will almost double.
If we consider that still 34% of Europeans do not know what the phenomenon of “cryptocurrency” is, the growth potential is generally significant.”
The study showed that more than one in three respondents in Europe believes that Bitcoin will become the heart of global Finance.
In addition, it turned out that about 30% of European residents already use cryptocurrencies for payments in online stores.
At the same time, 15% are ready to receive payment for their labor in cryptocurrencies.
