Only 3 percent exclaimed that they hadn’t come to a conclusion while the remaining 2 percent proposed that it wouldn’t be relevant.

Furthermore, digital assets were also part of the survey. Respondents were asked to choose between a list of digital assets that they would consider using. While 64 percent suggested that they would use enterprise controlled assets, 59 percent suggested that they would use decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, EOS, etc.. 54 percent of the respondents were inclined towards fiat-backed currencies and another 54 percent sided algorithm-driven stablecoins.
