 Data shows that investors in the 20-year-old age group in South Korea only accounted for 17.5% of their total investment in Bitcoin and Ethereum, and their favorite altcoin was XRP, accounting for 20.7%. The 30-year-old age group has the highest investment weighting in Bitcoin…— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) <a href="https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1694302909473898588?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">August 23, 2023</a>

People of this age group show a tendency to “aggressive investment” in comparison to other age groups in South Korea. Overall, they prefer altcoins to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Data for this year was analyzed for the current Bithumb report. 
Overall, according to it, 82.5% of the investors in their 20s, whose portfolios were analyzed, preferred altcoins with a higher volatility than Bitcoin and Ethereum. 
<h2 id="here-s-who-values-btc-and-eth-over-xrp-flz-and-dar">Here’s who values BTC and ETH over XRP, FLZ and DAR</h2> 
The above-mentioned group is opposed to the age group of investors in their 30s – <a href="https://u.today/cz-of-binance-alleged-to-be-pushing-bitcoin-btc-price-down-heres-how" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">they prefer Bitcoin</a> and Ethereum as an asset to invest the biggest amount of their funds. 
The proportion of investment in BTC and ETH among people of this age group is 28.2%. For those in their 40s it is 21.7%, in their 50s – 22.2% and 60s or older – 23.0%, the report states. 
As for the proportion of investment in XRP, it was spread as follows: people in their 20s – 20.7%, 30s – 17.0%, 40s – 11.8%, 50s – 14.9% and 60s or older – 13.8%. 
Next most popular altcoins after XRP for 20-year-olds were Fellaz (FLZ) ranked 2,296 by market cap – 5.8% and Mines of Dalarnia (DAR) ranked 449 by market cap – 3.0%. 
These two coins were listed by Bithumb on March 31 and January 27, respectively. 
Cryptocurrency expert Kim Dong-hwan, chief of Wonderfame, believes the love of people in their 20s to XRP and smaller, less-known altcoins, has to do with the fact that they are inclined to aim at quick profits rather than long-term investments.
