Researchers have attempted to probe North American teens’ perceptions of the stock market, cryptocurrencies and other investments in the high-octane GameStop (NYSE:GME) era. The results showed that cryptocurrencies edged ahead of some other asset classes such as real estate, with 25% of teens saying they would invest in crypto if given hypothetical funds as compared with 24% in real estate.
About 43% remain convinced that the best bet would be to invest their funds in the stock market, yet a large share — 37% — said they’d refrain from investing altogether.
