How many new crypto traders still profit after a year, compared to stock traders?

Research question: Of people who begin trading crypto with small sums, how many are still trading and in profit after a year, and how does that compare with new traders in stocks?

The verified facts only partly address this question, and they do not answer it directly. They report that in FY 2024-25, about 50.91% of Indian crypto users in KoinX's dataset reported net capital gains, while 49.09% reported net capital losses ¹. That figure does not cover traders who started with small sums, does not measure whether they kept trading after a year, and includes no data on stock traders, so no comparison can be drawn ¹. The newest fact covers FY 2024-25, which is roughly a year or more before October 2026 ¹.
