US Crypto Market Sees Revival, Bitcoin Remains Dominant: Deutsche Bank

The US cryptocurrency market has experienced a resurgence, with participation rates recovering to 12% in March from a February low of 7%, according to a retail survey conducted by Deutsche Bank. The survey, which spanned 3,400 consumers across the US, UK, and EU, found that bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a significant influx of $1.3 billion in net inflows in March, indicating renewed institutional demand. Analysts Marion Laboure and Camilla Siazon noted that US crypto adoption rates have recovered after steadily declining since July 2025. Despite the recovery, 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. Bitcoin, however, 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. The report also highlighted demographic trends, with crypto adoption skewed toward men and higher-income households, although there are gradual gains among women and lower-income investors.
