Explaining why they don’t believe the crash will have a massive impact on U.S. households, the analysts said the recent decline is very small relative to the net worth of U.S. households. Additionally, Goldman Sachs’ analysts do not expect the spending habits of Americans to change.
Young American men were most likely to suffer from the crash
The analysts further predicted that there would be limited scope for an increase in labor force participation due to the decline in crypto prices. According to them, this is because crypto holdings form a small share of household wealth.
Additionally, the labor force participation rate of young men, which was the most susceptible demographic, has already fully recovered to its pre-pandemic level.
While Hatzius and his team believe crypto alone will not alter the spending habits of Americans, they said,
