Binance Research: Generation Z investors prefer ETFs, with lower trading frequency and leverage usage compared to other age groups

Binance Research data shows that Generation Z investors are gradually shifting towards long-term asset allocation tools such as ETFs. Compared to Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers, their trading frequency is lower, and their preference for leverage is also weaker.Data indicates that at the beginning of August, ETFs accounted for 25% of the stock trading volume among Generation Z users. In July, the proportion of net inflows into stocks from ETFs for Generation Z reached 21.9%, up from 18.5% in June; during the same period, the proportion of individual stock investments decreased from 77% to 74.2%.Binance Research analyzed trading behaviors in direct stocks, tokenized stocks, and traditional financial perpetual contracts. The data shows that Generation Z's trading activity in all three asset classes is lower than that of other working-age groups.Among them, Generation Z's traditional financial perpetual contract accounts traded an average of 13 times per month, lower than the 17 times of Millennials and 16.5 times of Generation X. In direct stock accounts, 22% of Generation Z users have never sold stocks, higher than the 19% of Generation X and 9% of Baby Boomers.Among Generation Z accounts that bought but did not sell, the assets with the highest cumulative purchase amounts include Broadcom, Tesla, and Charles Schwab U.S. High Dividend Stock ETF.In terms of leveraged products, Generation Z shows a lower risk appetite. Data indicates that 88.2% of Generation Z's traditional financial perpetual contract accounts have never traded leveraged or inverse ETFs, higher than the 84.5% of Millennials and 85.9% of Generation X.Additionally, the tokenized stock market continues to expand. Data shows that Binance's bStocks recently briefly surpassed Kraken's xStocks, becoming the second-largest tokenized stock issuance platform globally. As of the latest data, Ondo Finance ranks first with approximately $972 million in tokenized stock value, while xStocks and bStocks are approximately $611 million and $580 million, respectively.

Gray Research Director: ETH and SOL may face supply contraction, and the reduction of inflation mechanisms will strengthen token scarcity

Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl stated that the two major blockchain networks, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), are considering adjusting their token economic models to enhance asset scarcity by reducing future token supply growth through lowering annual inflation rates. As important native assets supporting stablecoins and tokenized asset ecosystems, the prices of ETH and SOL are primarily determined by supply and demand dynamics. If the relevant code upgrade proposals are approved, under unchanged conditions, lower supply growth may provide support for token prices.According to Grayscale's analysis, if the relevant adjustments are implemented, the supply inflation rates of BTC, ETH, and SOL will continue to decline over the next five years. By the end of 2031, the annual inflation rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to be around 0.4%, and Solana around 1.1%, which is lower than gold's annual supply growth rate of about 1.8% and the U.S. CPI inflation level of about 3.3%. Currently, these token economic adjustments are still in the community discussion phase. Among them, the Solana-related proposal has gained broader support and has a higher likelihood of implementation; the Ethereum proposal still requires further discussion.If the adjustments are implemented, staking users may face reduced token rewards, as part of the staking income comes from the issuance of new tokens. However, due to the decline in the growth rate of circulating supply, the scarcity value of the tokens may increase, potentially providing price support. For ETH and SOL holders who do not participate in staking, they may benefit directly; the final returns for stakers will depend on the balance between the decrease in rewards and the increase in prices. Zach Pandl concluded that ETH and SOL are becoming important digital commodities supporting stablecoins and the tokenization of real assets, and the economic model adjustments aimed at reducing inflation may further strengthen their scarcity attributes.
