Smakämnen 2023 crypto survey was administered by ipsos and involved an online survey of 2,360 Canadians, including over-sampling of crypto owners to ensure a minimum sample size of 500. The survey was fielded from Maj 16 juni 7, 2023, and weighted to reflect the Canadian population composition.  Note, that this was before (or just as) crypto markets started their recent run-up.
