67 Million Americans Now Own Cryptocurrency, According to New Estimate
The National Cryptocurrency Association estimates that over 67 million Americans now own cryptocurrency, according to a new report released in May. This figure represents a growth of about 12 million owners compared to last year and accounts for roughly one in four adults nationwide.
The estimate was based on a survey of 10,000 US adults who identified themselves as current cryptocurrency holders, conducted between February 12 and March 3. Researchers weighted the responses by demographic category and extrapolated them to reach a national figure.
Ripple's CEO Brad Garlinghouse cited this figure in an August 20 post on X, stating that 'crypto isn't a fringe industry.' He also emphasized that crypto owners are an active voting bloc, although the research itself measured ownership and usage habits, not political intentions.
