Sweden Lags Behind in Crypto Adoption
Recent research conducted with Novus reveals that 9% of Swedish investors have ventured into cryptocurrencies, below the European average of 12%. This indicates that Sweden lags behind its neighbors in crypto adoption. Jean Marie Mognetti, CEO of CoinShares, attributes this gap partly to negative media coverage focusing on industry challenges.
Mognetti said:
“We believe that unwarranted negative media has led to skepticism among Swedish investors. As Sweden’s leading digital asset firm, we feel it’s our responsibility to advocate a greater understanding of cryptocurrencies.”
Connecting Crypto and Canines
The ‘Crypto Puppies’ campaign taps into Sweden’s unique cultural connection with dogs. The statistics show that 90% of Swedish dog owners insure their pets, the highest rate globally. Swedes place immense value on animal welfare, often viewing their dogs as key sources of comfort.
The campaign was created in collaboration with the Swedish agency Save Our Souls, which, through this emotional bond, aims to create positive associations with cryptocurrency. In hopes of making the subject more approachable, CoinShares will pair crypto education with puppies images.
Olle Langseth, creative lead at Save Our Souls, said:
“Changing people’s minds about something they instinctively dislike is challenging. But presenting information alongside something they love might open them up to reconsider.”
Campaign Details and Objectives
The ‘Crypto Puppies’ program will run for over a month. The campaign consists of digital videos, billboard ads, print ads in leading financial magazines, wild postings and partnerships with popular Swedish influencers. The campaign aims to reignite interest in CoinShares’ flagship product, CoinShares XBT Provider, launched in 2015.
CoinShares aims to promote a more positive perception of digital assets by introducing a friendlier image of cryptocurrency. The firm believes that positive associations can help bridge the adoption gap.
CoinShares is eager to see how the Swedish public responds to the ‘Crypto Puppies’ campaign. They hope that by tapping into the country’s love of dogs, the company will spark a more nuanced discussion about cryptocurrencies.
Mognetti stated, “We want to help Swedes rediscover their pioneering spirit in digital assets. Through ‘Crypto Puppies,’ we aim to present crypto in a new light.”
