A survey conducted by FUTU in Hong Kong revealed that Gen Z is very optimistic about Crypto, where he sees three times more potential in Bitcoin than real estate.
A new survey conducted by the company Futu Securities Futu Securities showed that Gen Z is rewriving the financial play book. Instead of chasing the traditional dream of home ownership, this generation is highly betting on Bitcoin (BTC) and other symbols. According to the survey, Gen Z three times more optimistic about encryption than real estate, indicating a major shift in how to see financial security.
Hong Kong newspaper “Standard Standard”, citing the data revealed by the brokerage company at Photo Circuits, Reveal Promise discovery: 23 % of Gen Z participants feel safe with only two bitcoin in their wallet with $ 1 million Hong Kong (about 128,400 dollars) for a batch offered at home. In the city where property has always been a symbol of wealth and stability, the change in the mentality is important.
There is a good reason for optimism. Bitcoin increased by 125 % in 2024, breaking the $ 100,000 mark in December before settling about 97,000 dollars. Meanwhile, Hong Kong real estate market has struggled to provide the same level of revenue. With such numbers, it is not surprising that virtual assets become a better option for the younger generation.
For 45 % of Gen Z participants, the comfort and security of encryption investments exceeds traditional assets such as real estate. It is not only related to returns – it is about flexibility. Curricula provides a level of freedom that cannot be owned by ownership of ownership.
Economic uncertainty turns into a focus
Hong Kong residents do not feel very safely about their financial resources. On average, they evaluate their financial security at 6.43 out of 10, according to the survey. With the economic uncertainty, more than half of the participants turn into investments to generate negative income.
High observers owners, in particular, dive into various and more dangerous origins.
- 25 % have more than five income flows.
- 34 % invest more than half of their income.
- 42 % invested in cryptocurrencies, with 66 % profit vision.
It is clear that the owners of high observers are leading this charge, but Gen Z is close to.
Generations
The younger generation constitutes a new narration about wealth. For many Gen Z, property possesses is no longer a dream anymore. Instead, keeping “BTCS” looks like a better bet on financial safety.
The newspaper notes that the feeling is not only related to chasing returns, but also about optimism. The general sees a brighter future for virtual assets. They are excited about encryption capabilities, as some say it provides freedom and flexibility that cannot match traditional assets.
But it is not only children. 77 % of Gen X-those born between 1965 and 1980-who are already investing in encrypted currencies they share an optimistic view, especially about the long-term Bitcoin capabilities.
In a comment on Crypto.News, Vivian Wong, a partner liquid box in Hashki Capital, said that the transformation of investor mentality reveals “captivating interaction of effects.”
“While the souls that enjoy technological cunning are undoubtedly attracted to the digital magic of Bitcoin, through their decentralized and decentralized attractiveness, the price of the volatile real estate in the real estate market in Hong Kong cannot be overlooked in the past few years. It seems as if the younger generation is Sana, the armed with smartphones and coding languages, leads a financial revolution, as the virtual assets are clashed with the real estate market.

Wong pointed out that the influence of General Z extends “beyond the directions of social media and fashion options” as the generation carries “a large income that can be eliminated” and reshapes “cultural trends and financial models.”
“It is in line with the values such as transparency, inclusiveness, and digital original tools, Bitcoin’s echo with the principles of GEN Z, to expand the cryptocurrency economy. This transformation not only emphasizes the dynamics of the accumulation of changing wealth, but also hints that tradition meets innovation in these financial days. “

The FUTU report shows that diversification is the key. Arrows and cryptocurrencies are the most popular assets categories for growth.
