    The confidence boost from additional cash, known as the wealth effect, becomes a significant topic whenever cryptocurrency prices surge. Researchers have sought to measure this impact, discovering that cryptocurrency windfalls in the US are not spent like lottery winnings.

This spending rate is nearly double that of stock-market returns, but it's only about one-third of the spending rate from lottery winnings. Contrary to the lavish spending seen on social media, not all the money was spent on luxury items like Lamborghinis. Some of it was used for h...
