According to a survey conducted by Tokyo consulting firm Clabo in February 2026 with 1,486 respondents in Japan, Japan's Generation Z's main concern about crypto assets is social media scams (such as fake airdrops and promotional inducements), while older groups are more likely to consider "lack of understanding of the encryption mechanism" as the biggest worry. Overall, 23.3% of respondents said they "do not understand how it works." The survey shows that 50% of respondents have never invested in crypto assets. Regarding sources of information, the highest percentage of crypto news is obtained from traditional news websites (38.4%), followed by social media (36.7%) and YouTube (31.6%). However, in the "actual investment decision" stage, YouTube ranks first with 27%. (BeInCrypto)
