According to Odaily, the number of global cryptocurrency owners has reached 5.62 billion in 2024, marking a growth rate of 33.8%. This figure represents 6.8% of the global population. The information was shared by cryptocurrency influencer @beaniemaxi on platform X.

The significant increase in cryptocurrency ownership indicates a growing acceptance and adoption of digital currencies worldwide. The rise in the number of cryptocurrency owners can be attributed to various factors, including the increasing awareness about digital currencies, their potential for high returns, and the ease of access provided by various trading platforms.

However, despite the significant growth, cryptocurrency owners still represent a small fraction of the global population. This suggests that there is still a vast potential for further growth in the cryptocurrency market. As more people become aware of and comfortable with digital currencies, the number of cryptocurrency owners is expected to continue to rise.
