zondacrypto, a leading European digital currency exchange, released key findings from its Swiss consumer sentiment survey. The research, conducted among 1,000 Swiss consumers, confirms the country’s high level of crypto adoption and a clear demand for enhanced regulatory clarity and education to further accelerate growth.
The survey found that 43.7% of Swiss consumers are current digital asset owners, with an additional 24% having owned them previously. This high rate of adoption is supported by widespread familiarity, with 67.7% of the population reporting they are familiar with digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins. Furthermore, the data shows a strong belief in the future of the asset class, with a majority of respondents agreeing that digital assets will be an important part of the future financial system.
“Switzerland has long been a global leader in financial innovation, and these insights confirm that its citizens are actively embracing the digital asset revolution,” said Przemysław Kral, CEO of zondacrypto. “The high ownership rate is a powerful indicator of market maturity. However, the data also provides a clear mandate for the industry, that consumers are looking for trusted and regulated platforms.”
The survey highlights that the path to mass adoption is now defined by trust. For the 56.3% of the population who do not currently own digital assets, the most compelling factor that would increase their confidence is stronger oversight from regulators. This is a critical insight for the industry, suggesting that the focus must shift from novel technologies, to building a secure, compliant, and trustworthy ecosystem that aligns with Switzerland’s reputation as a global financial hub.
As a response to those needs, earlier this year, zondacrypto launched zondacrypto Swiss, a crypto on- and off-ramp designed to improve accessibility to digital assets for everyday people. The service allows users to buy or sell crypto directly with CHF and EUR using their bank account, with the amount purchased deposited in the user’s crypto wallet. Unlike comparable services in Switzerland, the minimum transaction amount is only CHF 10 or EUR 10, dramatically reducing the barriers to entry for digital assets in the country.
Note: Research was conducted by Censuswide among a sample of 1,000 Swiss consumers.
