💰 HOW MUCH of the investment portfolio is ALLOCATED to cryptocurrencies?
The adoption of cryptocurrencies can be measured not only by the number of users but also by HOW MUCH each person allocates to crypto within their total investments.
Below, I share an overview with estimated average values from some countries and/or regions regarding the allocation percentage in the portfolio:
🇺🇸 United States
• About 17% of American adults have already invested, traded, or used cryptocurrencies.
• Average investment per user: between US$ 1.200 and US$ 2.500 (average: US$ 1.980).
🇪🇺 Europe
• Specific data is limited, but the preference for crypto has been growing.
• In some countries, up to 40% of investors prioritize cryptocurrencies over traditional assets.
• Estimated average value: US$ 700.
🇨🇳 China
• Even with restrictions, Chinese individuals move up to US$ 90 billion per month in crypto.
• No official data released; the average value of US$ 750 is an unofficial estimate.
🇧🇷 Brazil
• Investors typically start with US$ 100 to US$ 500.
• There is a lack of average data per user, but the adoption volume grows year by year.

📊 Percentage of wealth allocated to cryptocurrencies
In addition to the values by country, see how much investors of each profile allocate from their total wealth to crypto:
• 18–29 years: 7%
• 30–39 years: 5%
• 40–49 years: 3%
• 50–59 years: 3%
• 60+ years: 4%

📌 Conclusion
Cryptocurrencies have ceased to be just a trend: they now occupy a real and growing space in the portfolios of millions of people around the world, especially among younger individuals and more aggressive investors.
ℹ️ Final Considerations
• The values are estimates based on reliable public sources such as Binance, Kraken, Triple-A, and aggregated market data.
• Brokerages do not disclose average values by country, so I used approximate ranges.
