US Crypto Adoption Sees a Resurgence, With Bitcoin Remaining the Dominant Player, According to Deutsche Bank

The US crypto market has experienced a notable rebound in adoption, with participation rates recovering from a February low, according to a recent retail survey conducted by Deutsche Bank. The survey, which spanned 3,400 consumers across the US, UK, and EU, found that US participation rebounded to 12% in March, returning to levels last seen in July 2025. Furthermore, bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a significant resurgence in March, attracting approximately $1.3 billion in net inflows, signaling renewed institutional demand after a slow start to the year. Despite this rebound, consumer sentiment on bitcoin's price outlook remains subdued, with a majority of respondents expecting bitcoin to trade lower than current levels by the end of 2026. Nonetheless, bitcoin remains the central player in the crypto market, with roughly 70% of crypto investors across regions holding bitcoin, and it is also the top choice for future investment, cited by 69% of US respondents.
