According to a recent report by Deutsche Bank, U.S. crypto adoption has rebounded sharply to 12% in March 2026, up from a low of 7% in February, marking a return to levels last seen in July 2025. The report, based on a survey of 3,400 consumers across the U.S., U.K., and EU, indicates that while bitcoin remains the dominant cryptocurrency, consumer sentiment is cautious, with many anticipating lower prices. Bitcoin's price has fluctuated around $75,000, recovering from declines earlier in the year, and has seen a 9% increase in March. Despite this, more than half of respondents expect bitcoin to trade lower by the end of 2026, with 19% predicting prices between $20,000 and $60,000, and 13% expecting a drop below $20,000. Bitcoin ETFs have seen a resurgence, attracting roughly $1.3 billion in net inflows, indicating renewed institutional interest. The report highlights that 70% of crypto investors hold bitcoin, which remains the top choice for future investments, cited by 69% of U.S. respondents. The demographic landscape of crypto adoption shows a skew towards men and higher-income households, although participation is gradually increasing among women and lower-income investors.
