Crypto ownership rate among Generation Z globally exceeds 50%
According to TokenPost, Jemi Nai’s survey of 6,000 respondents worldwide showed that more than half of Generation Z aged 18-29 have held or are holding cryptocurrencies and have shown a stronger willingness to invest. The survey shows that the crypto ownership rate of Generation Z is 51%, which is much higher than the global population average of 35%.

Similar trends are reflected in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and France.
Opinion: Bitcoin may rise to $130,000 in March
On January 30, Geoff Kendrick, an analyst at Standard Chartered Bank, emphasized in a report on Thursday that the market has entered a relatively stable period after the Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday and scheduled to make the next policy decision on March 19. Although macroeconomic risks still exist, the Fed’s stance reduces immediate uncertainty. As institutional capital inflows increase, the price of Bitcoin may climb to $130,000 in the next two months. Geoff Kendrick said that the SEC’s decision to revoke the crypto accounting guidance SAB 121 after Trump took office was the main factor driving institutional capital into Bitcoin. And recent market volatility has cleared out excessive leverage, and market positioning is now “much clearer.” Geoff Kendrick expects Bitcoin to test its previous ATH price of $109,000 in the coming days or weeks, and will rise to the $112,000 to $130,000 range in February and March.
