Gen Z Overtakes Millennials as India's Top Crypto Investors: Report
Imagine a big group of people in India who invest in digital money, like Bitcoin.
A new report says that the youngest investors, called Gen Z (people aged 18 to 25), are now the biggest group, making up 37.6% of all crypto investors.
This is just a tiny bit more than the next older group, Millennials (people aged 26 to 35), who make up 37.3%.
This is the first time Gen Z has become the top group!
Most of these investors live in big cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai.
They seem to like buying popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum for the long run.
The busiest time for trading digital money was in July 2025, when Bitcoin was doing really well.
This shows that younger people are getting more and more interested in digital money investments.
Gen Z (18-25) now represents the largest group of crypto investors in India at 37.6%, narrowly exceeding Millennials (26-35) at 37.3%.
Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai remain the top cities for crypto investment, with tier-2 cities showing increasing adoption.
Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum are the most held cryptocurrency assets among Indian investors.
Investors are increasingly favoring established, large-cap coins, indicating a move towards long-term, utility-focused portfolios.
July 2025 was the busiest month for crypto trading on the CoinSwitch platform, coinciding with Bitcoin's rally.
