 <p class="paragraph">A survey revealed that 86% of crypto-owning parents have purchased or plan to buy cryptocurrency for their children’s financial future. The research shows that parents believe in the long-term value of cryptocurrencies and want to educate their children about this asset class.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">According to the study published in March by <em>CouponBirds</em>, 45.2% of U.S. parents who own cryptocurrency have already purchased some for their children. Moreover, an additional 40.6% plan to buy cryptocurrency specifically for their children in the future. This indicates a strong belief among parents in the potential of cryptocurrencies as a long-term investment.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the most common reason for purchasing crypto for children is the belief that prices will appreciate over time (52.6%). However, education (33.3%) and currency debasement (30.7%) are also key factors driving parents’ decisions. These findings suggest that parents see cryptocurrency as a valuable learning opportunity and a hedge against traditional financial systems.</p>
