Prices may fluctuate significantly on a temporary basis, but the report shows that the number of crypto users in Germany is steadily increasing. Contrary to the widespread assumption that cryptocurrencies are only a short-term speculation, the survey results reveal that around half of crypto investors want to hold their coins for the long term. This fact is more than positive.
Doubts may be part of any new technology. This is no different with crypto. The survey results, on the other hand, prove that cryptocurrencies cannot be kept down, especially in Germany. No matter what happens, interest in cryptocurrencies is on the rise and younger generations in particular are aware of this change, as the survey results suggest.

The German blockchain and cryptocurrency market is relatively new and still at a nascent stage. With the rise of FinTech, Germany was slower to adopt new payment technologies, causing them to miss out on certain opportunities. However, they are determined not to miss out on the blockchain revolution.
To encourage blockchain startups and founders, the German government has been taking necessary steps. For example, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy has launched a blockchain strategy, which aims to create a supportive regulatory framework for blockchain-based businesses. The strategy also aims to promote research and development in this field.
Overall, the German government is taking a proactive approach to encourage the growth of the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. With the right support and investment, Germany has the potential to become a major player in this emerging field. It is no surprise that Germany is the most crypto-friendly country in the world overtaking Singapore in 2022.
