A recent survey by the international market research company Yougov shows that just under half of all millennials in the United States are interested in using cryptocurrencies as an alternative means of payment instead of the dollar.
Millennials are an age generation that usually includes people born in the early 80’s to the mid 90’s.
The survey, in which more than 1,200 Americans were asked about cryptocurrencies at the end of August, also shows that 79 percent have heard of at least one cryptocurrency, Coindesk reports.
Goldman Sahs denies
It has been speculated that the recent downturns in the crypto markets may be due to a report from Bloomberg that the American investment bank Goldman Sachs has halted its plans to launch a crypto trading desk.
Now, however, the investment bank’s Chief Financial Officer Martin Chavez has denied this.
“I never thought I would hear myself use this term but I really have to describe that news as fake news”, Martin Chavez said during a conference in San Francisco, according to CNBC.
