This is well below the global average of 15%, meaning the United States ranks 22nd out of 27 countries for cryptocurrency ownership.
US Cryptocurrency Ownership Rates
Bitcoin (44%) is the most popular coin among US crypto owners, followed by Ethereum and Dogecoin (32% each).
Finder.com’s crypto editor Keegan Francis is not surprised that adoption is low in the United States, as awareness of cryptocurrencies is much lower than in the other countries surveyed.
“Only 59% of Americans know what cryptocurrency is, while in countries like Australia, Nigeria, and Norway, more than 70% are familiar with crypto,”
“Not only that, but only one in four think cryptocurrencies are a good investment,”
“This is in stark contrast to Nigeria’s 81% and the Philippines’ 71%, where the ownership rate is also above average.”
