Although the <a href="https://finbold.com/category/cryptocurrency-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency market</a> has been through a lot over recent weeks and months, data have demonstrated that the interest of the public in owning crypto assets has not suffered under the effects of unfavorable circumstances – quite the contrary.Indeed, the average global <a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrencies/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> ownership rate currently stands at 4.2%, with more than 420 million people using <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto</a> assets around the world, according to the <a href="https://triple-a.io/crypto-ownership-data/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> by crypto payment gateway Triple-A, last updated on May 16 and retrieved on June 21.According to the map shared by the platform, the region that has the largest portion of crypto users – 260 million – is Asia, followed by North America with an average of 54 million, Africa with 38 million, South America with 33 million, Europe with 31 million, and Oceania with 1.5 million.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/7cb52aea443b4ea5b09a8d469308171a.png" />Crypto ownership around the world.

At its heels are India and Pakistan, with 27 million and 26 million, respectively, followed by Nigeria, with 22 million, and Vietnam, with 20 million crypto users.In terms of demographics, the analysis estimates that 63% of crypto users are male, as opposed to 37% female. Seventy-two percent of them are younger than 34, and 71% hold a Bachelor’s degree or higher, whereas the annual income of an average crypto owner stands at around $25,000.Interestingly, the crypto adoption curve in the last 10 years has followed that of the internet between 1990 and 2000 almost identically, and the crypto sector is currently at the same stage where the internet adoption was in 1998, as it becomes increasingly popular across industries such as e-commerce, luxury goods, gaming, and remittance.Meanwhile, the digital asset market has broken the recent <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/bear-market-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bearish</a> streak as $40 billion <a href="https://finbold.com/40-billion-flows-into-bitcoin-market-cap-in-24-hours-is-30k-btc-next/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">poured</a> into the market capitalization of Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) in the last 24 hours, bringing the price of the flagship decentralized finance (<a href="https://finbold.com/guide/liquidity-mining-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a>) asset closer to the psychological level of $30,000, as <a href="https://finbold.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Finbold</a> earlier reported.Disclaimer: The content on this site should not be considered investment advice.
