How a New Generation Is Shaping Finance

In recent years, digital assets have moved beyond mere speculation to become a currency for everyday transactions. According to the latest data, 36% of Generation Z are already spending crypto on daily purchases - from gaming and travel to routine shopping. These aren't just numbers, they mark a paradigm shift and the birth of a new financial world.

Proportion of people from different generations who prefer using crypto for purchases across various sectors.

Generation X leads in high-value crypto spending - from real estate to luxury travel - confidently expanding crypto's reach. Meanwhile, Millennials blend versatility and familiarity, using crypto for subscriptions, digital goods and services.

🗺 The regional picture is equally fascinating:

  • In Asia, young users actively spend on gaming and gifting,

  • Africa leverages crypto to increase access to education,

  • Latin America embraces it for digital products and online shopping,

  • The Middle East turns crypto into a gateway for luxury and exclusive purchases.

This is the beginning of a new, wonderful world where crypto transforms from a niche geek trend into a practical tool for managing daily routine and global economies. It finally stops being complex and inaccessible, and instead becomes a natural part of our daily lives. Innovative solutions - from QR codes for small merchants to crypto card integrations for major retailers - are paving the way for convenience and widespread adoption.

💘 And it's the energy and fresh perspective of the young generation that is leading the charge. Watching this unfold is both a privilege and a promise for the future.
