More than one in three US crypto traders have cut everyday spending due to current market conditions, according to a new CEX.IO survey.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Summary<\/span>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The exchange surveyed 1,100 active US-based users. The survey<\/a> found that 36% of respondents reduced daily expenses because of the crypto downturn. Another 10% said those cuts involved major sacrifices to keep their crypto positions.<\/p>\n CEX.IO said 37% of respondents delayed or cancelled purchases due to crypto-related losses. The group included 21% who postponed major financial plans, such as buying a home, purchasing a car, or starting renovations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bitcoin<\/a> remains about 40% below its October 2025 high. The decline has left many retail traders holding unrealized losses, even though the current downturn remains less severe than the 2022 bear market.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 2025\u20132026 bear market has not produced the kind of systemic shock seen in past cycles,\u201d CEX.IO wrote<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The exchange added that the pressure now appears in quieter ways at the household level.<\/p>\n The survey also showed that many crypto traders are managing losses alone. Only 5% said someone else knows the full value and size of their crypto holdings.<\/p>\n Most respondents either share limited details or keep their positions private. This shows that crypto losses may affect household budgets without wider family or social awareness.<\/p>\n Cash flow pressure has also increased for some traders. While 77% said they did not take on debt linked to crypto, 38% reported some financial disruption since October 2025.<\/p>\n Despite the pressure, most traders have not changed their long-term crypto plans. CEX.IO found that 73% said their income strategy remains unchanged.<\/p>\n Nearly half of the respondents said crypto accounts for more than 30% of their investable assets. Looking ahead, 79% said they plan to hold or increase their crypto positions over the next six months.<\/p>\n A separate B\u00f6rse Stuttgart Digital survey also showed<\/a> growing interest in crypto services among European investors. About 35% said they would consider switching banks for better crypto offerings.<\/p>\n The poll covered around 6,000 investors in Germany, Italy, Spain, and France. Nearly one in five said they expect their main bank to offer crypto access within three years.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
