The adoption of cryptocurrency increased by 13% in 2024, according to the “sizing report of the crypto market” published by Crypto.com.
The report indicates that the global adoption of cryptography, measured by the ownership of digital assets, increased by 13% in 2024 – by 583 million owners at the start of the year to 659 million by December 31.
The adoption of the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), increased by 13.1% and 13.6% respectively.
Bitcoin ownership reached 337 million owners, representing 51% of all holders of global cryptography.
The total number of Ethereum owners reached 142 million last year, which represents 21% of the global property of cryptography.
Crypto.com says in his report that 1.2 million additional people may have been exposed to Bitcoin through funds (ETF) negotiated on the Buga in the United States which was approved in the United States in 2024.
Ethereum’s growth was largely motivated by the interest in the Crypto layer 2 network and the Dencun upgrade, as well as the launch of ETHEREUM SPOT ETF last summer.
A distinct study of BlackRock (BLK) recently shown that the Crypto adoption rate was deploying the 43% mobile phone adoption and the adoption of the Internet of 20% in 2024.
According to BlackRock, it only took the adoption of cryptography to adopt 300 million users, while mobile phones have reached the same stage over a period of 21 years.
Crypto.com and BlackRock attribute the growth of crypto to demographic trends, in particular the opening of the young generations to digital parts and tokens.
India, Indonesia, Nigeria, the United States and Vietnam were the first five countries to adopt cryptography in 2024.
Bitcoin is currently negotiated at US $ 97,385 per digital token, having increased by 86% in the last 12 months.
