Crypto blew up in a way that made investing feel thrilling and progressive for millennials. But as they entered the workforce, they faced a financial crisis, a difficult job market, student debt galore and a competitive housing market.&nbsp;While millennials initially sought quick financial gains through high-risk avenues like crypto, new evidence suggests that they are now seeking the old-school, ever-stable investment route of franchising at an increasing rate.<h3>A Surge In Old-School Investing&nbsp;</h3>As a generation who watched their parents’ investments in stocks and bonds plummet during the financial crisis, millennials are distrusting of traditional financial systems and looking to diversify their assets.
