eToro, a social trading platform, recently released the findings of a survey which covered a wide array of questions concerning interest in cryptocurrency.

Significantly, 97 percent of millennials in the survey, who were reported to have crypto investments, said that even though things seem to be in a downturn, they will still like to learn more about cryptocurrencies.

According to the survey, 61 percent of both men and women were interested in getting a more in-depth education on cryptocurrencies.
