What Do Young Investors Think About Crypto ETFs?

View through CrossRef

This letter examines potential demand for crypto ETFs, focusing on investors’ age. Data are obtained from a survey of potential investors in a US college community and supplemented by an analysis of the discourse around crypto ETFs on the Reddit social media platform. The results suggest that young investors are more aware of crypto ETFs than old investors. However, trading intentions for crypto ETFs are driven by risk tolerance, which is not related to age. Discussions about crypto ETFs on social media suggest that young investors actively participate in discussions about potential SEC approval of US-listed crypto ETFs. Despite being more aware of crypto ETFs, we find only weak evidence that young investors intend to trade crypto ETFs more than older investors.
