According to the latest data statistics, the total number of global cryptocurrency holders has surpassed 320 million, but the distribution and usage penetration rates across regions show interesting differences.
Oceania performs the best, with 1 million holders compared to a population of 44 million, resulting in a usage rate of 2.27%, making it the top region globally. This achievement is mainly due to the concentration of developed countries in the area and the high financial literacy of its residents.
North America follows closely, with 100 million holders out of a population of 590 million, and a usage rate of 1.69%. As the birthplace of cryptocurrencies and a major innovation hub, its advantageous position remains quite solid.
Interestingly, South America, with only 27 million holders, has a usage rate of 0.63% relative to its 430 million population, surpassing Europe's 0.58%. This reflects the economic instability faced by many South American countries, which drives local residents' increased demand for crypto assets as a safe haven.
Europe has 43 million holders with a usage rate of 0.58%, placing it in the middle range. Meanwhile, Africa and Asia have total holders of 53 million and 130 million respectively, but due to their large populations, their usage rates are only 0.38% and 0.28%. Especially in Asia, despite having the largest number of crypto holders globally, the relative penetration rate is the lowest, indicating that there is still huge growth potential in emerging markets.

That data from South America is quite bleak; the economic collapse actually boosted crypto penetration rates, which is quite ironic.

The struggling economy in South America has actually driven crypto adoption, which is a bit of a blow to the logic... Asia has the largest population and the most holders, yet the lowest penetration rate. It feels like the dividend period is just beginning.

That data from South America is interesting; the economic collapse actually spurred a demand for safe-haven assets... Asia is the real treasure trove.

The data from South America is really interesting—economic collapse actually increased the holding rate? I don't know why this logic feels a bit heartbreaking to me...

Asia has the highest number of holders but the lowest penetration rate. Isn't this a huge gap waiting to be filled?

South America at 0.63% surpasses Europe, which is indeed impressive. The economic crisis has actually spurred demand for safe-haven assets; this logic is brilliant.
