A Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland working paper found that showing U.S. households information about Bitcoin's past returns significantly increased their desire to own crypto, raising desired allocations by about two percentage points, a 47% increase from those not shown the data. Crypto owners expected much higher returns than nonowners, with expectations dropping but the gap remaining by 2025. The study also found that actual crypto purchases rose by about 2.5 percentage points after exposure to Bitcoin performance data, especially among nonowners who previously avoided crypto due to lack of understanding. Researchers suggest this feedback loop of rising prices and expectations could contribute to price bubbles. The paper is preliminary and does not represent official Fed policy.
