Some 8% of French people have already invested in cryptocurrencies, according to a study published Monday and carried out by the consulting firm KPMG on behalf of the Association for the Development of Digital Assets (Adan).

The survey, conducted in January, was presented at Bercy in the presence of the Secretary of State for Digital, Cédric O.

At the end of January, Adan published a list of recommendations concerning "crypto" for presidential candidates.

For his part, Pascal Gauthier, the CEO of Ledger, a French unicorn and founding member of Adan, had invited all the candidates at the end of January to visit his start-up specializing in physical cryptocurrency portfolios.

Eric Zemmour was the first to go there on Monday.

2% of French people invest in NFTs

According to the survey carried out by Ipsos for Adan in January, 30% of French people plan to acquire cryptocurrency.

This investment particularly attracts people under 35, who would be nearly one in eight (12%) to own it.

And men are in the majority (60%) among “crypto” buyers.

People with incomes below 18,000 euros per year would also be more likely to hold cryptocurrencies (37% of investors) than those with the highest incomes.

Finally, 2% of French people would have chosen to invest in a particular type of cryptocurrency: NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

According to interviews conducted with 29 of the most important companies in the sector in France, fundraising in the French “crypto” industry totals 1.2 billion euros in total.

The sector employed more than 1,100 people in January, 85% of them in France, with growth of nearly 60% over one year.
