The securities regulator in Canada’s Ontario province raised concerns in a report that public knowledge of cryptocurrency appears to be lacking despite a growing interest in the nascent technology among local residents.
The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) published a survey result on Thursday that sampled over 2,500 Ontario residents aged over 18 in March regarding their awareness and knowledge of cryptocurrency and initial coin offerings.
The survey found that five percent of Ontarians currently hold cryptocurrency assets such as bitcoin and ethereum.
For instance, the survey shows that over 80 percent of all respondents indicated they have heard of bitcoin.
Meanwhile, for respondents who currently hold cryptocurrency assets, the survey said around 15 percent of them answered the six questions correctly.
