US Crypto Adoption Sees a Revival, With Bitcoin Remaining the Dominant Force

A recent retail survey conducted by Deutsche Bank has revealed that crypto adoption in the US has experienced a resurgence, with participation rates recovering to 12% in March. This rebound comes after a decline to 7% in February, returning to levels last seen in July 2025. The survey, which spanned 3,400 consumers across the US, UK, and EU, also noted that bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a significant increase in net inflows, totaling $1.3 billion in March, signaling renewed institutional demand. Despite this, consumer sentiment on bitcoin's price outlook remains subdued, with a majority of respondents expecting prices to trade lower than current levels by the end of 2026. Nonetheless, bitcoin remains the central focus of the crypto market, with roughly 70% of crypto investors holding the asset, and it is also the top choice for future investment, cited by 69% of US respondents.
