A new report by Luno, one of the leading crypto exchanges in Africa, has revealed that the majority of crypto investors (48%) are willing to invest their salary in crypto for their children’s education.
The survey, which included nearly 7,000 respondents from across 3 African markets and 4 foreign found that investors in the 3 African countries were not only financially-savy but also looking to invest for sensible and long-term goals.
Speaking on these findings, Marius Reitz, General Manager, Luno, Africa, said:
“In recent weeks, there’s been a lot of attention on the scale of Africa’s crypto revolution and whilst its potential is hugely exciting, it’s vital we ensure consumers are engaging with this transition in a safe and responsible manner.
This research offers a major boost of confidence that this is happening – we’ve always focussed on ensuring we promote safe practices as an exchange through our focus on self-regulation and it’s encouraging to see customers replicating this through a considered and well-informed approach to investing.”
