National Cryptocurrency Association Launches to Elevate Crypto Literacy in the U.S.
Miami, FL – The National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA), a newly established non-profit organization, officially launched today with a mission to enhance cryptocurrency education and promote safe adoption across the United States. This organization aims to demystify the world of crypto and serve as a vital resource for individuals seeking to understand how to use, hold, or engage with cryptocurrencies.
Bridging the Education Gap
According to Stuart Alderoty, President of the NCA, there is a growing recognition that cryptocurrency is becoming an integral part of modern finance. “Crypto going mainstream is no longer a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’,” Alderoty stated. He emphasized the diverse benefits that millions of individuals are already experiencing, such as quicker online shopping, international money transfers, and opportunities for creativity in applications, art, and gaming. “We’re giving a voice to users from all walks of life and serving as a guide for how to use crypto responsibly,” he added.
To gauge public interest in cryptocurrency education, the NCA collaborated with Harris Poll, conducting a survey involving 10,000 current crypto holders in the U.S. The results highlighted a significant demand for crypto knowledge, revealing that 81% of respondents are eager to learn more about its future potential. In response, the NCA is committed to offering a range of educational resources, including easy-to-understand explainers and testimonials from everyday users of cryptocurrencies.
Support from Industry Leaders
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, underscored the current momentum for cryptocurrency in the United States, stating, “The opportunity for crypto – especially in the US – is now stronger than ever.” In support of the NCA’s goals, Ripple has pledged a substantial $50 million grant aimed at funding educational initiatives and increasing awareness of the positive impacts of cryptocurrency on individuals’ lives across the nation.
Positive Impacts and Usage of Cryptocurrency
The Harris Poll survey revealed that approximately one in five American adults are already using cryptocurrency. Among these users, 76% reported a positive impact on their lives, highlighting increased financial independence, learning opportunities, and the excitement of participating in an innovative economic landscape. The survey also found various purposes for which users are employing cryptocurrency, including:
- 39% use it for shopping
- 32% have engaged with NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)
- 31% send crypto to family members
- 21% participate in trading digital collectibles and art
