CrossFi Releases its 2025 Crypto Market Research Survey Report

CrossFi has launched its 2025 Crypto Market Research Survey, which provides insights into how people use and perceive cryptocurrency globally.

The survey looked at demographics, financial habits, and perspectives on Web3 banking to uncover major trends in digital money. The majority of replies were from India, Finland, and Russia, with 80% women and 20% men. The majority were aged 28 to 43, earning between $1,000 and $3,000 per month.

The survey found that many participants rely on crypto investing or holding as a primary income source, showing a shift toward long-term value growth.

Most people use cryptocurrencies once or twice a week, indicating that they are progressively becoming a part of their regular lives. However, hefty transaction fees remain a significant barrier, with consumers seeing them as the most difficult difficulty.

Survey reveals diverse income sources within the crypto space. The most common sources include investing or holding crypto (26.6%), mining (32.9%), trading (33.9%), and arbitrage trading (21.6%). A smaller percentage earn through working in the crypto industry (11.2%) or entrepreneurship (6.2%).

It also shows that users want crypto for daily use, mainly for services (30.2%), goods (29%), domestic (32%), and overseas transfers (29.8%). Many also seek real estate investment (28.3%), salaries (24.8%), and anonymous transactions (21.4%), while some prefer not to use crypto at all.

The survey found that safety and reliability are the most important features in Web3 banking. However, most users said they were only “somewhat satisfied” with their experience. Respondents praised decentralization for increased security, however they encountered concerns such as blocked accounts and rigorous KYC requirements.

Looking forward, participants want more ways to use crypto in daily life, predicting that by 2025, crypto will function as smoothly as fiat money. However, safety and cybersecurity remain top concerns, emphasizing the need for stronger protections as digital finance evolves.
