In 2022, cryptocurrency is expected to account for almost $35-billion worth of transactions worldwide, up 6,7% from $32,5-billion a year ago, with more than half that value coming from the US.
According to the Statista Global Consumer Survey, the hype around cryptocurrencies is spreading worldwide despite the recent crypto price crash, with digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Binance drawing the interest of more and more people – at least in some countries. However, the US has witnessed just as impressive growth. In 2019, only 5% of respondents from the US said they used or owned cryptos. Statistics show their share jumped to 16% in 2022.
According to Statista data, India has the highest number of crypto users globally, with 134-million as of this year, or nearly five times more than the US which counts 27,7-million users in 2022.
