Axi, a global online FX and CFD trading brand, has reported a notable increase in cryptocurrency adoption among its clients. According to the company's data, 46% of its client base now holds cryptocurrency as part of their broader portfolio.
This significant shift is attributed to a growing interest in direct ownership of digital assets, rather than purely speculative trading. The trend suggests a broader movement towards integrating crypto into traditional investment portfolios, with clients using digital assets as diversification tools and longer-term positions.
Axi's Head of New Business, Stuart Cooke, notes that the figures point to a fundamental shift in how traders approach cryptocurrency: 'Demand for straightforward crypto ownership is growing — but what's equally telling is how fluidly clients move between product types as conditions change.'
