Independent Reserve Cryptocurrency Index (IRCI) Australia 2026
Now in its seventh year, the Independent Reserve Cryptocurrency Index (IRCI) 2026 is an annual cross-sectional survey of over 2,000 Australians. The research captures the perspectives of everyday Australians and is balanced across gender, age and geographic distribution. The index is rated out of 100 and designed to reflect four key aspects of Australian attitudes towards cryptocurrency: awareness, adoption, trust and confidence. The IRCI survey was conducted between 12 and 20 January 2026. The index moved from 54 in 2025 to 53 in 2026, reflecting a year of market volatility and shifting sentiment, even as institutional participation increased and regulatory oversight continued to evolve.
