Share Traders and Crypto Investors Boost Monthly Income from Trading
Posted:- But just one in 12 say trading accounts for 25% or more of their income, GraniteShares research shows
New research* from GraniteShares, a global issuer of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) with more than $7 billion under management, shows regular investors in shares and crypto are earning extra income from their trading.
More than half (53%) say trading makes up part of their income although for most it’s a small part of their monthly earnings. Just one in 12 (8%) say trading shares or crypto contributes 25% or more of their monthly income.
The research for GraniteShares, which offers a range of exchange traded products (ETPs) listed on the London Stock Exchange, found 37% of stock market and crypto investors say they mainly buy and hold while 10% preferred not to answer or did not know how much trading adds to their income.
The nationwide study found around 14% of regular stock market and crypto investors started trading in the past two years but the boom in trading happened during the pandemic. Around 13% of those who currently trade regularly say they started in 2020 and early 2021.
Nearly two out of five (36%) questioned said they had been regularly trading for 10 or more years.
Will Rhind, Founder and CEO of GraniteShares, said: “Both share and crypto traders are becoming increasingly sophisticated and that is reflected in the numbers of people claiming to be able to increase their monthly income as a result of their trading.”
“Relying on trading to increase your income can however be risky and people should look to adopt a more holistic approach to wealth creation.”
