crypto traders stake at least 5K a month

According to a new survey conducted by Malta based Blockchain derivative trading platform CloseCross, Big-spending crypto traders are combining investing in digital assets with full-time jobs and are in the market for the long-term. Its study among crypto traders across six major economies who stake at least $5,000 a month found 71% are working full-time with another 15% working part-time or self-employed.

The research by  CloseCross , which is regulated under Malta’s MIFID II rules, in the US, UK, France, Germany, India and Canada found the traders have been in the market for the long-term. Nearly half (45%) have been trading for four years or more and just one in three (34%) started in the past two years.

They are mainly men but are increasingly younger and spend an average $7,570 trading each month. Around two-thirds (64%) of these serious crypto traders are men and 42% are under 35 with 19% under-25. Just 8% of them are over 55 with 50% aged between 35 and 54,

Most traders are trading between $5,000 and $10,000 a month on cryptocurrencies, the study for CloseCross,   which enables traders to generate profits through a simplified three clicks process of selecting an asset, predicting price-bracket(s), and committing funds to these predictions, for a variety of asset classes including crypto as well as stocks, forex pairings, indexes, and commodities, found.

However, one in five (20%) say they have traded cryptocurrency with a value of more than $80,000 in the past year. Around 7% say the value of their trades have been more than $100,000.

Vaibhav Kadikar, CEO of Cloecross stated, “Crypto traders staking at least $5,000 a month are mainly combining their trading with full-time jobs which inevitably means they will need support as they won’t be able to study markets full-time. It is however also clear that they are committed to trading with nearly half investing in the market for four years or more. Recent crypto price rises – and falls – may have attracted new traders but our global study shows many are in it for the long-term.“

The table below shows the breakdown of how long crypto traders have been in the market.
