Alexander Lorenzo presents survey data showing 69% of Americans trust crypto versus 65% for banks, with 1 in 4 adults now holding crypto. The Harris Poll and National Cryptocurrency Association report 67 million U.S. crypto holders, with more people over 55 than under 25 adopting it.
For the first time in American history, more people trust crypto than their own bank. 1 in 4 US adults now own Bitcoin or crypto. This is a migration that nobody predicted that has already happened. The data just got verified by the Harris Poll, and the numbers actually came from the National Cryptocurrency Association's 2026 State of Crypto Holders report released on May 13th. Listen, 10,000 American crypto holders were surveilled. Between February and March of this year, and here's what they found: 67 million Americans now own crypto, and that's an increase of 12 million holders in one single year. One in four U.S. adults up from one in five last year. But here's the real story that's buried deep: trust in cryptocurrency sits at 69%. Trust in traditional banking sits at 65%. Crypto passed the banking system as the more trusted financial system among. Holders in America. That's not a sentiment shift. That's a structural reordering of which system Americans consider legitimate. The demographic data destroys the dominant narrative. The assumption is that crypto is for young tech bros. The actual data shows that more Americans over 55 hold crypto than Americans under 25. 90% of the holders earn less than $500,000 a year. Almost a quarter earn $75,000 or less. The single largest career category is tech and finance at 26%. The second largest at 21% is construction and manufacturing. Plumbers, electricians, and factory workers now hold nearly as much crypto as software engineers in America. 41% of holders send crypto to friends and family, up 31% from last year. 40% of crypto to buy goods and services. 40% of merchants accept crypto payments now. Square now supports Bitcoin payments at every terminal. I don't know if you knew that. This is This is the year crypto stopped being something you bought hoping it would go up and it started being something you actually used. Here's what nobody's connecting: 90% of holders plan to buy more crypto within the next 12 months. 82% expect the market to be higher in 5 years. 76% want their bank to let them buy and hold crypto alongside regular accounts. To me, that basically means that the bank that says no to crypto is basically the bank that's going to lose a lot of their customers in the future. JPMorgan, Citibank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America. The pressure is no longer theoretical. Crypto is now officially here. Now watch what happens with the price. They want to get retail in. They're going to pump the price up and extract liquidity like they always do. Real quick, I'm giving away my proprietary altcoin trading strategy 100% free.
