A survey published on August 21, 2025, reveals a significant pivot in investor expectations, with 65% of U.S. dual-asset investors—those holding both cryptocurrencies and stocks—anticipating that digital assets will deliver stronger growth than equities over the next decade. Conducted among over 1,000 U.S. adults, the findings show only 35% favoring stocks, underscoring a growing belief in crypto’s long-term potential. Over the past 12 months, 42% of respondents reported their crypto holdings outperformed their stock portfolios, compared to 31% who saw better returns from equities, according to the data released Thursday.
The survey, detailed by Will Canny and edited by Sheldon Reback, highlights rising investor confidence, with 61% feeling more assured in digital assets versus 53% for stocks. Nearly 70% plan to increase their crypto allocations in the coming year, with men showing stronger conviction (74%) than women (59%). Crypto is also emerging as a preferred “crisis trade”—33% of investors would allocate fresh capital to digital assets during global uncertainty, outpacing the 20% for equities and 19% for cash. A spokesperson commented, “Dual-asset investors are no longer treating crypto as a speculative outlier. They’re viewing it as a core growth driver,” reflecting a strategic shift in portfolio construction.
This bullish trend aligns with the blurring lines between traditional finance and crypto, as exchanges expand into equities trading alongside digital assets. The findings echo recent blockchain advancements, with Ethereum hitting $4,790 and Solana testing 104,529 TPS, signaling robust infrastructure growth. However, risks persist—crypto’s volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and past market crashes like 2022’s $2 trillion loss could challenge this optimism. For investors considering this decade-long outlook, the survey presents a compelling case for crypto’s rise, but caution is essential given the market’s inherent unpredictability. Stay vigilant—this is a high-stakes trend with significant potential and risks.
