JD Vance says crypto can help everyday Americans. Here’s how many actually use it.
Vice President JD Vance and two of President Donald Trump’s sons were in Las Vegas on Wednesday to talk about cryptocurrencies and how the financial instrument can help ordinary people.
Vance told attendees at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that “we have a once in a generation opportunity to unleash innovation and use it to improve the lives of countless American citizens.” According to the numbers, there’s a long way to go.
Data shows about 1 in 6 U.S. adults — 17% — have ever invested or used cryptocurrency, while half that — 8% — have used it in the past year.
Survey data from Pew Research shows crypto use is highest among men 18 to 29 years old and lowest among women 50 and older.
