Cryptocurrency adoption is surging globally, with the UAE and Vietnam leading the way, according to new data from Triple-A.
Data from Triple-A reveals the UAE leads the world in cryptocurrency adoption, with over 30% of its population, approximately 3 million people, owning digital assets. This reflects the nation’s forward-thinking embrace of financial technology and its aspirations to become a major fintech hub.

Holding the second spot is Vietnam, where 21.2% of the population, or about 21 million people, are involved with digital currencies. This substantial engagement demonstrates the preference for investment diversification among Vietnamese citizens.
Notably, Vietnam, the only top South Asian nation, outranks Singapore, despite the latter’s status as a developed nation. With traditional investments perceived as less accessible or rewarding, cryptocurrencies offer new avenues for wealth creation.
With 15.6% of its citizens holding cryptocurrencies, the United States ranks third. Nearly 53 million Americans have invested in the crypto market, demonstrating robust growth in one of the world’s largest economies. Notably, the nation was the first to approve both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs despite stringent regulatory challenges.
Iran and the Philippines follow, with adoption rates of 13.5% and 13.4%, respectively. Iranians’ participation, despite strict regulatory regimes, indicates a strong interest in leveraging digital assets for wealth creation.
Brazil and Saudi Arabia, with adoption rates of 12% and 11.4% respectively, point to a strong inclination towards cryptocurrencies as viable financial assets. Meanwhile, Singapore, with only 11.1% of its population engaged with cryptocurrencies, reflects its cautious approach despite being a major financial hub. This may also suggest that the market is gradually maturing at its own pace.
Other notable mentions are Ukraine and Venezuela, with adoption rates of 10.6% and 10.3%, respectively. As more individuals and nations embrace digital assets, the global financial landscape is set to expand further, driving financial inclusion and innovation across borders.
