 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-crypto-investors-population-is-higher-than-the-united-states-population">Crypto investors population is higher than the United States population</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the number of cryptocurrency investors has surpassed the United States population by a large margin. Furthermore, the 339.99 million U.S. citizens is just slightly larger than what the study revealed for Asia’s investors. United States population data is from <em>Worldometers</em> in 2023.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">This evidences the relevancy of cryptocurrencies among the world’s population and how they can influence modern society from different perspectives. For example, crypto investors could, apparently, be already influencing this year’s United States presidential election.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Additionally, summing up the fourth and fifth countries with the largest <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="population" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/population.html">population</a> in 2023 still results in a smaller <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="population" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/population.html">population</a> than the reported global <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="investors" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/investors.html">investors</a>’ crowd. Indonesia had 277.53 million people in 2023, while Pakistan had 240.58 million, totaling 518 million—a smaller “<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="half-a-billion" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/half-a-billion.html">half-a-billion</a>.”</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, this number only reflects the cryptocurrency investors identified by Known Your Customer (KYC) services. It is known that a relevant amount of crypto users are likely not identifiable by focusing on financial privacy, which is a fundamental human right highly recognized by respected global entities like the United Nations (UN).</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Therefore, we can conclude that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency enthusiasts are probably larger than the reported half a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="billion" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/billion.html">billion</a> owners. A number is likely to grow within the expected bull market and increase <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> adoption as a means of payment.</p>
