Investors demand easy access to crypto market-Cryptocurrencies survey: trading not yet suitable for mass market
March 22, 2018--Uncomplicated, safe and quickly accessible: that is how traders would like to see crypto currency deals being handled. This was the conclusion of a recent survey (#thefutureofcrypto) conducted by FinTech Sowa Labs, a subsidiary of Boerse Stuttgart Digital Ventures, which surveyed over 1,000 people online.
"More and more investors are interested in cryptocurrencies. However, our survey shows that existing arrangements and venues for crypto trading are not suitable for a mass audience," said Dr. Ulli Spankowski, Managing Director at Sowa Labs.
And it is far from easy to invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. 'Not only is there a lack of user interfaces in the German language, but many trading platforms are also quite difficult to use,' he added.
