Statistical Analysis of Investment Hesitancy of Indian Youth in Cryptocurrency

Abstract

In the recent years, there has been a steady rise in the popularity of cryptocurrency as an investment alternative in India. Yet, cryptocurrency investments make up a very small fraction of the total investment volume in India. The proposed paper aims at finding out Indian youth’s confidence and reasons for hesitance in investing in cryptocurrency [5]. It also attempts to understand the various gender-specific and gender-neutral causes leading to distrust or disinterest among the youngsters regarding their engagement in cryptocurrency investing. It further attempts to quantify the impact of these gender-specific and gender-neutral factors on the cryptocurrency investments of youth (or the lack thereof).
