Cryptocurrency adoption among consumers - statistics & facts
Who are the people that tend to use or be interested in cryptocurrency and how would they use them? Within roughly two years, the number of cryptocurrency users in the world nearly tripled. Estimates for the same year show that the world's leading countries for Bitcoin trading consisted of the United States, Russia, and Nigeria - with transactions generated in the U.S. worth twice as much as Russia and Nigeria combined. However, cryptocurrency services in both North America and Europe reported in 2020 they had relatively more business clients than retail clients when compared to their counterparts in other regions of the world. Indeed, crypto hedge funds, online merchants or miners made up an average of roughly 15 percent of the client base of cryptocurrency services in Asia Pacific, against 30 percent in both North America and Europe.
