The cryptocurrency exchange carried out a global survey in the lead-up to the annual romantic holiday, with 2,600 participants weighing in on the importance of an interest in crypto in potential partners. If the data is to be believed, having an avid interest in the space could be an important factor in a relationship with like-minded partners.
The open survey posed nine questions to participants focused on attitudes toward cryptocurrencies, dating and romance between Feb. 6 and Feb. 9. 2,600 individuals took part, with ages ranging between 18 and 46.
A key takeaway was 83% of respondents indicated that having a partner that liked cryptocurrencies was an attractive feature in a relationship.
