One out of Four People Own Bitcoin and Crypto in 2025: Insights from Gemini Report
Gemini’s recently released 2025 Global State of Crypto Report has shed light on the increasing prevalence of cryptocurrency ownership around the world. The report shows a significant rise in ownership among respondents in countries like the US, UK, France, and Singapore, with one in four individuals (24%) now owning digital assets compared to one in five (21%) in the previous year.
A noteworthy factor contributing to this global growth is the Trump Administration’s favorable stance towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. President Trump’s establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, along with supportive leadership at the SEC and efforts to regulate digital assets, has instilled confidence in the value of Bitcoin among non-owners in the US, UK, and Singapore.
Europe emerges as a leader in crypto ownership growth, with the UK witnessing the most significant increase in ownership from 18% to 24%. France follows closely with 21% of the population now owning digital assets. The US and Singapore also experienced growth in adoption rates, reflecting the wider trend of increasing crypto ownership globally.
France’s proactive approach towards crypto has garnered significant interest, with 67% of respondents expressing a willingness to invest in digital assets. The US, UK, Italy, and Australia also showed high rates of crypto ownership due to favorable regulatory environments and growing investor confidence.
In the US, the popularity of crypto ETFs continues to rise, with nearly 39% of crypto owners investing in these assets since they were approved in early 2024. Furthermore, Millennials and Gen Z are actively participating in the crypto market, with over half of each demographic group either currently owning or having previously invested in digital assets.
Gemini’s report highlights the evolving landscape of crypto ownership and the increasing mainstream acceptance of digital currencies. As more individuals and institutions embrace cryptocurrencies, the future of finance is undergoing a significant transformation towards a more decentralized and digital ecosystem.
