Overview
- A Boerse Stuttgart Digital survey of 6,000 people in Germany, Italy, Spain, and France found 35% would change banks for stronger crypto services.
- About one in four respondents already owns digital assets, with Spain showing the highest share of holders in the group.
- Respondents said they trust their primary bank for crypto more than twice as much as specialist platforms.
- Knowledge and rules remain hurdles, as over 60% feel poorly informed, 69% call crypto too complex, and 76% see regulation as too weak.
- EU Markets in Crypto-Assets rules are lifting confidence for nearly half of respondents, yet access stays uneven as many banks stick to pilots and one in five customers expects crypto access within three years.
