Gate News message, April 22 — A survey by Börse Stuttgart Digital, the digital asset arm of Stuttgart Stock Exchange, found that 35% of European investors would consider switching banks if other institutions offered better cryptocurrency investment options. The study covered approximately 6,000 investors across Germany, Italy, Spain, and France.

Nearly one-fifth of respondents expect their primary bank to provide crypto access within the next three years. On regulatory concerns, 76% believe cryptocurrency assets are insufficiently regulated, while over 60% report limited knowledge of digital assets. However, nearly half of surveyed investors said the EU's MiCA regulatory framework has increased their confidence in digital assets.
