According to a survey conducted by trading platform eToro, many retail investors in the UAE plan to increase their crypto holdings by 2025.
Etoro surveyed 1,000 retail investors in the UAE to determine their investment goals for the coming year. The goals ranged from investing in stocks to buying multiple cryptocurrencies.
The survey found that 40% of participants said they wanted to increase their exposure to stocks, bonds and commodities, while 38% wanted to invest in real estate. Meanwhile, 37% said their goal is to increase their crypto investments.
Survey participants share their strategies for achieving financial goals.
When asked about their strategies for achieving their financial resolutions, 51% of respondents said they would increase their overall savings or investments.
Forty-one percent said they practice more comprehensive budgeting and expense tracking, and 38% say they adopt more frugal and mindful lifestyles. Meanwhile, 28 percent of the participants said they would reduce shopping and dining expenses.
While some focus on tracking and reducing expenses, others plan to increase their income through business. The survey results show that 32% plan to start a side hustle to increase their income, while 28% want to change careers to pursue a higher salary.
In a news release, Etoro regional manager George Nadaf said the decisions show a shift to creative asset building. And so he said.
The 2025 resolutions emphasize the need for self-improvement and adaptation, not just for financial security.
Nadaf continues to demonstrate the forward-thinking nature of the UAE, with its people aiming for financial resilience and personal growth.
