In a moment of great uncertainty in the international scenario and with interest from the Central Bank on the highest level in almost two decades, Brazilians are taking more risks in cryptocurrency market compared to investors from neighboring countries.
Bitget broker survey show that 33% of investors claim to have their profile bold, while 27.8% have more than half of their application portfolio dedicated to cryptocurrencies.
In calculated countries, only 12.8% of respondents say they have a bold investor profile, while 25.1% have more than 50% of the crypto portfolio.
The numbers are from the survey with 2,302 active users of the platform Bitget In Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, between April 7 and 11.
“The data show that the Brazilian investor is bolder, seeks significant returns and is willing to take higher risks to this. This behavior is a reflection of both the country’s high digital banking and growing familiarity with the crypto universe,” says Guilherme Prado, Bitget Country Manager in Brazil.
In Prado’s evaluation, Brazil today has one of the most mature investment crops in Latin America, with greater access to information, product diversification and financial education.
This environment favored the bolder investor profile and willing to take risks.
On the other hand, what may surprise is the age profile of the Brazilian investor in crypto. More than half of Brazilian crypto users are over 45 years old (55.6%), above the Latin America average (43.9%).
“This age group tends to gather greater accumulated heritage and prior knowledge about the functioning of markets, which allows a more strategic and diverse approach,” argues Prado.
The diversified strategy is present during the application period and preference for other assets besides Bitcoin: 44.4% of Brazilians adopt a short and long -term mixed strategy (trading and holding), surpassing the regional average (39.6%).
Brazil is the only country in the research where memecoins (11.1%) are among favorites to invest. The preference for Solana (16.7%) is also stronger in Brazil than in the average of the countries analyzed (7%).
To remain attentive to what happens, Brazilian investors in crypto are updated through social networks, to the detriment of professional media. 33% are informed through social networks and 22% consume financial news.
“Social networks have been consolidating themselves as an important investor information channel, especially for their agility, content volume and the ability to offer real -time analysis. Many investors follow influencers, analysts and experts who produce direct, practical and accessible language,” concludes Guilherme Prado.
