More men than women entered the crypto market between 2019 and 2020, leading to a bigger cryptocurrency gender gap for Australia. The source lists Australian women as "reserved", citing them half as likely to invest in cryptocurrency than men.

Cryptocurrency apps grew significantly in Australia in 2021, with the daily active users (DAU) of some apps growing by 1,000 percent between January and February. While the Coinbase Wallet app already had a DAU of several thousands in 2020, the early months of 2021 sparked a significant growth across multiple crypto wallets in Australia. CoinSpot - a domestic cryptocurrency exchange - grew from an active user base of around 1,800 each day in January 2021 to nearly 19,000 per day one month later. Roughly eight percent of Australians said they either owned or owned a cryptocurrency when asked in a consumer survey in 2020, putting them in the mid-tier of a consumer comparison for 55 different countries worldwide on cryptocurrency adoption for that year.

Cryptocurrency adoption in Australia was not necessarily driven by the youngest age group, according to 2020 survey results. Rather, most respondents who indicated they owned some form of cryptocurrency were either 25 to 34 years old, or 35 to 44 years of age. The source adds later that around 75 percent of respondents owned Bitcoin. The source does not indicate, however, when the survey was held exactly. It is therefore likely, as with other domestic crypto surveys released in late 2020 or early 2021, that the results might be from before Bitcoin started its price growth towards a value of 60,000 U.S. dollars.
