Crypto Ownership Reaches 24% in Major Markets, Report Says Crypto exchange firm Gemini has just published its 2025 Global State of Cryptocurrency Report, highlighting a steady rise in digital currency adoption across multiple regions. The report shows that more people in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, and France are getting involved with crypto. In 2024, about 21% of people in these countries owned some form of cryptocurrency. That number has grown to 24% in 2025.
One possible reason for the growing confidence in digital assets is the approach taken by the current U.S. administration. Since President Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025, he has taken several steps to support the crypto industry. These include launching the Strategic Bitcoin (BTC) Reserve, appointing crypto-friendly officials to the SEC, and supporting new legislation that lays out clearer rules for stablecoins and other digital assets.
Gemini COO Marshall Beard commented that the U.S. is now stepping up as a global player in blockchain and Web3 development, thanks in large part to the new policies. He noted that this shift marks a stark contrast to the policies of the previous administration and positions the country for significant expansion in the crypto field both at home and internationally.
Public sentiment seems to reflect this. Nearly 23% of Americans who haven’t yet bought any cryptocurrency said that the strategic reserve made them feel more confident about investing in BTC and similar assets. In the UK, 21% of non-investors expressed a similar boost in confidence, and 19% of those in Singapore shared the same feeling.
Among the regions surveyed, Europe stands out with the most noticeable jump in crypto adoption. The UK saw the largest year-over-year increase, moving from 18% in 2024 to 24% in 2025. France wasn’t far behind, rising from 18% to 21%. Meanwhile, in the U.S., the rate climbed from 20% to 22%, and Singapore’s numbers grew from 26% to 28%.
France appears especially enthusiastic, with 67% of its population supportive of the country’s crypto-friendly stance—more than any other country in the study. Australia, the U.S., the U.K., Italy, and Singapore follow behind.
In the American market, 39% of crypto holders reported having invested in cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a figure that has increased since these products were approved in early 2024. On a global level, younger generations are significantly involved: Fifty-two percent of Millennials and forty-eight percent of Gen Z have either owned or currently own crypto.
Crypto entities like Cantor Equity Partners Inc. (NASDAQ: CEP) can count on the figures revealed in this report as further proof that the future is bright for the industry as more people embrace crypto and actually acquire digital assets as part of their portfolios.
