Gate News message, April 21 — According to Deutsche Bank survey data, U.S. crypto adoption rebounded to 12% in March after falling to 7% in February, as renewed spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and stabilizing prices signaled a cautious return of institutional and retail confidence.
Analysts Marion Laboure and Camilla Siazon noted that the survey, covering 3,400 consumers across the U.S., UK, and EU, showed U.S. adoption rates recovering after steadily declining since July 2025. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.32 billion in net inflows during March, marking their first positive monthly result in 2026 and their first monthly inflow since October 2025. Bitcoin remained the dominant crypto asset in the survey, consistent with institutional ETF flows.
However, sentiment remained fragile. Many survey respondents expected Bitcoin to finish 2026 below then-current levels near $75,000, with 19% of U.S. respondents anticipating a range between $20,000 and $60,000, and another 13% expecting the asset to fall below $20,000. Adoption remained concentrated among men and higher-income groups, though interest among women and lower-income users was reported to be improving. The data suggests crypto adoption is recovering but not yet accelerating into a broad retail boom.
