The study featured on how citizens trusted cryptocurrencies when compared to other investment assets, such as stocks and bonds. In this segment, cryptocurrencies fared in the middle, below classic instruments such as the dollar, but over other instruments. Guido Moscoso, public opinion manager at Opinaia, summarized:

Of the 74% of Argentinians that would be willing to purchase crypto assets, 49% stated that they would purchase them, but they don’t know how to do it.
