More than 32% of Australians own Crypto Assets, what is driving the rise of this trend?

Australia's Crypto Assets adoption rate has soared, with data showing that about 32.5% of the population, or approximately 6.3 million people, own or have owned Crypto Assets, indicating that digital currencies are increasingly being accepted as a legitimate means of investment and payment.

It is noteworthy that young investors continue to lead in this trend, especially among the 25 to 34 age group, where over 53% of them indicate that they own Crypto Assets. Although men still dominate in this field, the participation of women is gradually increasing, with expectations that by 2025, the proportion of women holding digital assets will reach 21.9%.

Data shows that over 57% of Crypto Assets holders reported making a profit by 2025, while this figure was only 37% in 2024. Additionally, investors who have held their coins for more than six years performed the best, with 73.5% of them achieving profitability, indicating that patience and strategy are starting to pay off, especially with mature assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Despite the rise in the adoption rate of Crypto Assets, the regulations in Australia remain unclear. The government is working to tighten tax and reporting rules, and many investors have reported facing restrictions from banks when transferring into or out of Crypto Assets. It remains to be seen how the upcoming regulations will be implemented.

On the central bank side, the Reserve Bank of Australia has recently completed a pilot of central bank digital currency (CBDC), aimed at exploring how the digital Australian dollar can increase payment speed and reduce costs in certain industries, but it does not intend to replace existing Crypto Assets.

Looking ahead, if this rise continues, it is expected that by the end of 2025, the number of Crypto Assets users in Australia will reach 11.38 million, with nearly half of the adult population potentially having access to Crypto Assets.

In summary, with the lowering of barriers, the rise of investor sentiment, and the continuous intervention of the government, Crypto Assets in Australia have clearly moved beyond being a fringe phenomenon and are gradually integrating into people's daily financial management.
