Despite growing awareness, overall crypto adoption in Japan remains limited. Only about one-third of respondents reported holding digital assets, while half have never invested at all. A key factor is lack of understanding, which remains the most common reason for skepticism toward cryptocurrency.

The survey also found that while traditional media is a primary source of information, platforms like YouTube play a major role in influencing investment decisions. This suggests that how crypto is explained — not just what is explained — continues to shape participation across different age groups.
