Survey: 13% of Gen Z Used Crypto to Pay for Valentine’s Dates
An OKX-commissioned Pollfish survey released ahead of Valentine’s Day shows 13% of Gen Z respondents have already used crypto to pay for dates. The survey also found many who haven’t used crypto for dating expenses blamed the absence of simple, consumer-friendly payment methods rather than distrust or lack of interest.
The findings matter because they highlight a shift toward real-world spending with digital assets and flag payments UX as the main blocker to broader adoption. For exchanges, wallets, and merchants this is a reminder that seamless checkout flows, stablecoin rails and clear merchant support could turn curious users into repeat crypto payers. The trend may push more payment integrations in lifestyle verticals if providers act on the friction points identified by Gen Z.
