A significant 36% indicated that their main reason for using crypto was to achieve financial independence and security. A user from Asia highlighted in the survey, shared his personal story of using crypto to preserve the value of his university savings against rising inflation. He said, “I started using Binance Earn products which helped me to accrue interest on my assets, with far better rates than my bank account. It gave me the opportunity to make my own decisions – to stabilize my finances. I can't think of anything more empowering.” I can't think of anything more empowering. The survey also found that 19% of respondents viewed high fees and 14% cited slow transaction times as major challenges with traditional financial systems.
