How Australians Use cryptocurrency Beyond Investment
For most Australians, cryptocurrency entered the mainstream through investing. Bitcoin and Ethereum were framed as speculative assets, discussed in the same breath as stocks, commodities, and alternative stores of value. Volatility, price cycles, and long-term potential dominated the conversation.
Yet as crypto adoption has matured, its role has expanded beyond investment alone. Increasingly, Australians are using digital assets in transaction-based environments, from payments to decentralised finance, and in some cases, digital gaming platforms.
This shift reveals less about gambling itself and more about how Australians interact with risk, technology, and financial autonomy.
