Gen Z Prefers ETFs, Trades Less Than Older Cohorts: Binance

The notable signal here is behavioural, not product-level: the youngest cohort on a major exchange is reportedly using it less like a trading venue and more like a savings rail, with ETFs doing the work. That cuts against the industry's long-standing assumption that younger users are the leverage-hungry growth engine, and it matters for exchanges whose revenue leans on frequent, high-leverage activity. Whether this reflects a durable generational preference or simply the mood of a particular market cycle is the open question.
