The demand of risky traders for Bitcoin, ETH, BNB, ENJ, UNI is growing?

The crypto market has been quite volatile over the past month. The correction phase of Bitcoin and the subsequent downtrend also triggered a phase of increased volatility for Altcoins. Global crypto market cap, which hit $ 2.5 trillion in May, is down to $ 1.3 trillion at press time, a 47% decline.

To be fair, given price volatility, trader behavior and market sentiment can’t be the same as it was a year ago. One survey Traders recently found that while crypto trading is still considered risky, 82.3% of respondents consider it more profitable than stocks.

Additionally, the survey results show that Bitcoin is still dominant, with around 2,508 people holding it over the past year. At the same time, more than 80% of all survey participants hold Bitcoin at some point in the year. On the other hand, ETH ranks second with 1,963 holders, which makes up two thirds of the total sample (last year it was 50%).

8.4% of dealers owned DOGE last year. According to the report, the huge success and popularity of this meme coin in recent months has been due to “the attention of celebrities like Elon Musk”.

BTC market capitalization is falling, but popularity continues to rise

The above survey also shows that over 85% of traders believe Bitcoin is a safe haven. Although the value is rising and falling with booms and corrections, most traders remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s price movement for the rest of the year.
