Meanwhile, South Africa’s proportion of crypto owners that own bitcoin (52%) means the country is ranked third globally just behind Australia (60%) and Ghana (54%). The global average according to Finder’s report is 37%.
In terms of gender, the report found that out of South Africa’s 4 million cryptocurrency owners, men account for 65% of these individuals. Globally, Norway comes in with 74% of its crypto owners being men while Colombia and Vietnam are tied, with 56%.
In South Africa, those aged between 18 and 34 account for 45% of crypto owners. On the other hand, “those aged 55+ are the group least likely to own crypto, making up just 23% of crypto owners.”
