Global Crypto Investment Increases, But Still Limited to Less Than 7% of the World's Population**
By 2025, the adoption of crypto assets continues to show a positive trend with an increasing number of owners in various countries. Nevertheless, recent data indicates that **less than 7% of the global population is currently investing in crypto**, with approximately 659 million digital asset owners worldwide by the end of 2024[6].
Countries such as the United Kingdom, Singapore, and the United States are leading in crypto ownership, with Singapore reaching 28% of its population owning digital assets, followed by the UK and the US, each in the range of 21-24%[1]. In Indonesia, crypto investors also show significant growth, estimated to reach 28.65 million by the end of 2025[9].
Bitcoin remains the most dominant crypto asset, accounting for about one-third of the global investor portfolio, although its ownership is highly concentrated in the hands of a few large entities such as MicroStrategy and several other crypto whales[4][5]. The total assets of crypto investment funds also recorded a new all-time high, reaching US$167 billion in May 2025, indicating strong interest from institutional investors[3].
The rapid growth of the crypto ecosystem is also reflected in the number of tokens circulating in the global market, which has surpassed 37 million tokens by May 2025, signifying ongoing diversification and innovation in the blockchain world[7].
Although adoption remains limited in percentage terms, this development indicates that crypto is increasingly accepted as an alternative investment and hedge tool in the global financial market.
