Out of these, 210 million hold Bitcoin.In addition to the wealth statistics, the report introduces the "Crypto Adoption Index," which ranks countries based on factors such as public and infrastructure adoption, innovation, tax, and regulatory conditions.Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates top the list, indicating that these nations have created favorable environments for crypto growth.While the United States ranks fifth overall, it leads in terms of public and infrastructure adoption combined, followed by Canada and Australia.&nbsp;The United Kingdom ranks highest for innovation and technology.Singapore, Switzerland, and the UAE also rank at the top of Henley &amp; Partners' list for the best investment migration programs, which allow digital asset investors to obtain alternative residence permits and citizenship in these countries.<h2 id="crypto-billionaires-lose-big-amid-market-downturn">Crypto Billionaires Lose Big Amid Market Downturn</h2>Crypto billionaires have been hit hard amid the recent market downturn that saw around $2 trillion wiped out of the crypto markets.&nbsp;As&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/crypto-billionaires-lose-big-amid-secs-2023-crackdown-binance-coinbase.htm">reported</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/reviews/binance/">Binance</a>&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, has seen his net worth shrink by $1.4 billion to $26 billion, while&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/reviews/coinbase/">Coinbase</a>&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Brian Armstrong&nbsp;has seen his net worth drop by $361 million to $2.2 billion.The reversal in fortune for crypto&rsquo;s wealthiest founders, who saw their combined net worth increase by $15.4 billion in 2023 from the comeback in the price of Bitcoin and other digital assets, came after the Securities and Exchange Commission's crackdown on Binance and Coinbase.Prior to the legal enforcement against those exchanges, Zhao's fortune was up by a staggering 117%, while Armstrong&rsquo;s was up by 61%.&nbsp;Back in June, the SEC&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/sec-sues-binance-cz-over-blantant-disregard-of-its-rules.htm">sued both Binance</a>, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/breaking-coinbase-sued-by-sec-just-day-after-binance-lawsuit-which-firm-next.htm">Coinbase, the largest US-based cryptocurrency</a>&nbsp;exchange, for operating as unregistered exchanges and offering unregistered securities, among others.&nbsp;
