Respondents explained their main reasons for doing so were as an investment for the future with as many as 48% saying they saw crypto and NFTs as the future of money.
The piece goes on to discuss some of the leading crypto wallet options available today. Hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano X and Trezor Model T store the user’s private keys offline, eliminating the possibility of hackers stealing sensitive data.
