A recent CoinGecko survey indicates a shift in new cryptocurrency investors' preferences, with only 55% including Bitcoin in their portfolios. The survey, which polled 2,549 participants, highlights that 10% have never purchased Bitcoin, suggesting a growing interest in alternative cryptocurrencies. Industry experts, including Kraken's Jonathon Miller, attribute this trend to a maturing crypto ecosystem where investors are drawn to DeFi, memecoins, and other emerging projects. Despite this shift, some analysts anticipate a potential resurgence in Bitcoin's appeal due to its status as a store of value amid macroeconomic uncertainties.
