The Crypto Trust Gap Is a Generational Divide
-

A new survey from OKX highlights a stark generational split in how Americans view crypto. Among Gen Z and Millennials, roughly 40% report high trust in crypto platforms, while only 9% of Baby Boomers say the same. The younger the respondent, the more likely they are to see crypto as both credible today and essential to finance tomorrow.
Boomers, by contrast, remain firmly anchored to traditional finance. Nearly three-quarters give banks high trust scores, while younger generations are far more skeptical of legacy institutions. The result isn’t just a preference gap — it’s two fundamentally different financial worldviews coexisting in the same economy.

this feels less like a crypto debate and more like a trust definition gap
