Students are asking for crypto education, but most business schools aren't delivering. A new survey from OKX found strong demand among students for crypto classes, with social media as the main way they're learning. A separate review of accredited U.S. business schools found that only about 28% offer blockchain courses.
Social media is the crypto classroom
The OKX survey points to social media as the primary source of crypto knowledge for students. That's not surprising — the same way young people learn about any trend — but it is a reminder that crypto education is happening outside the classroom. The survey doesn't say which platforms, but it's a clear that social media fills the gap.
Business schools are behind
The review looked at accredited U.S. business schools and found that only about 28% of them offer blockchain courses. That means most students won't find crypto on the course list. The review didn't name the schools or say what those courses cover, but the number alone suggests a big gap between what's taught and what students are asking for.
The gap is hard to ignore
Put the two findings together and you have a mismatch. Students want crypto education, but the schools they attend mostly don't offer it. So they turn to social media, which is free, fast, and always available. It's not a substitute for a structured course, but it's where the information is.
The OKX survey doesn't break down which social media platforms students use, and the business school review doesn't say which courses are counted as blockchain. Still, the overall picture is consistent: demand is there, supply isn't. Whether business schools will catch up is an open question, but the pressure to do so isn't going away.
