Interest was not limited to spending. About 31% of Gen Z participants said they would like to receive crypto as a Valentine’s Day gift. The survey also found that financial knowledge matters in dating.
Gen Z showed the strongest agreement, with 76% saying that financial literacy is an attractive quality in a partner. Millennials followed closely at 75%.
