Crytpo traders are more charitable than you think ​​​​​​
A new study by Fidelity Charitable reveals the average cryptocurrency investor is markedly more charitable than the average person who invests in traditional assets, such as stocks and bonds.
45% of cryptocurrency investors donated $1,000 or more to charity in 2020, compared to only 33% of the total investor population.
The study also examined how they contributed to charity. Some are donating cryptocurrency.
While the stats above are for fiat currency (USD) donations, Fidelity Charitable asked those donating cryptocurrencies to charity about that choice. Sixty-seven percent said it was because they "wanted to do something good with my cryptocurrency," while 56% said it was because their "cryptocurrency appreciated significantly."
