The number of people who own cryptocurrency has grown from around 420 million in 2024 to somewhere between 560 million and 770 million today. The gap between those two figures reflects how difficult this data is to collect, not a disagreement about whether growth is happening. No central authority tracks crypto wallets by country. Transactions are pseudonymous by design. Every ownership estimate is built from a mix of exchange data, on-chain analytics, and consumer surveys. Different methods produce different totals.
