Graph and download economic data for Coinbase Bitcoin (CBBTCUSD) from 2014-12-01 to 2025-03-25 about cryptocurrency and USA.

The global user base of cryptocurrencies increased by nearly 190 percent between 2018 and 2020, only to accelerate further in 2022. This is according to calculations from various sources, based on information from trading platforms and on-chain wallets. Increasing demographics might initially be attributed to a rise in the number of accounts and improvements in identification. In 2021, however, crypto adoption continued as companies like Tesla and Mastercard announced their interest in cryptocurrency. Consumers in Africa, Asia, and South America were most likely to be an owner of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, in 2022.

How many of these users have Bitcoin?

User figures for individual cryptocurrencies are unavailable. Bitcoin, for instance, was created not to be tracked by banks and governments. What comes closest is the trading volume of Bitcoin against domestic fiat currencies. The source assumed, however, that UK residents were the most likely to make Bitcoin transactions with British pounds. This assumption might not be accurate for popular fiat currencies worldwide. On top of that, coins such as Tether or Binance Coin - referred to as "stablecoins" - are often used to buy and sell Bitcoin. Those coins were not included in that particular statistic.

Wallet usage declined

Total crypto wallet downloads were significantly lower in 2022 than in 2021. The number of downloads of Coinbase, Blockchain.com, and MetaMask, among others, declined as the market hit a "crypto winter" over the year. The crypto market also suffered bad press when FTX - one of the largest crypto exchanges based on market share - collapsed in November 2022. Binance, on the other hand, regained some of the market share it had lost between September and October 2022, growing by 0.8 percentage points in November.

Bitcoin's blockchain size was close to reaching 5450 gigabytes in 2024, as the database saw exponential growth by nearly one gigabyte every few days. The Bitcoin blockchain contains a continuously growing and tamper-evident list of all Bitcoin transactions and records since its initial release in January 2009. Bitcoin has a set limit of 21 million coins, the last of which will be mined around 2140, according to a forecast made in 2017. Bitcoin mining: A somewhat uncharted world Despite interest in the topic, there are few accurate figures on how big Bitcoin mining is on a country-by-country basis. Bitcoin's design philosophy is at the heart of this. Created out of protest against governments and central banks, Bitcoin's blockchain effectively hides both the country of origin and the destination country within a (mining) transaction. Research involving IP addresses placed the United States as the world's most Bitcoin mining country in 2022 - but the source admits IP addresses can easily be manipulated using VPN. Note that mining figures are different from figures on Bitcoin trading: Africa and Latin America were more interested in buying and selling BTC than some of the world's developed economies. Bitcoin developments Bitcoin's trade volume slowed in the second quarter of 2023, after hitting a noticeable growth at the beginning of the year. The coin outperformed most of the market. Some attribute this to the announcement in June 203 that BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin ETF. This iShares Bitcoin Trust was to use Coinbase Custody as its custodian. Regulators in the United States had not yet approved any applications for spot ETFs on Bitcoin.

Download figures for crypto wallets in 2024 were much closer to the all-time high reached in the middle of 2021 than in other years. This after comparing download figures from several apps, including Coinbase, Blockchain.com, Metamask, Trust, and Binance, among others. Whilst the ten most popular cryptocurrency wallets registered roughly 2.2 million downloads in December 2020, one month later it had grown to over 5.6 million. It is around this time the price of Bitcoin grew significantly, and other cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin attracted more and more general interest.

Submission Description

Deciphering Crypto Trends challenge proposes the analysis of how the level of interest on google trends influences the price of a cryptocurrency.

The first insights showcase a positive correlation between the level of interest and token price, which is understanbale since more interest could be seen as more investments.

Later on, Unemployment rates data has been selected to enhance the analysis. Unemploymet rates are a mesure of how healthy the economy of a country is. Usually, lower rates would indicate that the country is in a good economical moment and therefore those moments are usually seen as moments to invest. However, as a first intake the influence of the Unemployment rates is not as big as one could expect. Maybe other securities like Gold may be more influenciated.

Finally, an ARIMA model has been trained to forecast the upcomming 3 months of level of interest through google trends for the Ethereum token.

For any question related to the challenge you can contact me through discord @xmarkitus or at: llopartdata@gmail.com.

The number of wallets on Blockchain.com, something that makes purchasing Bitcoin possible, reached over 81 million wallet users in 2022. User figures for multiple cryptocurrency apps worldwide grew significantly in 2021, as is revealed when comparing download figures from the Coinbase, Blockchain Wallet, Crypto.com, BRD, Trust, Luno, Binance, Bitcoin Wallet, Bitcoin Wallet by Bitcoin.com, and Coinbase Wallet apps.

How many people own Bitcoin?

Exact user figures for Bitcoin are not available, but it is estimated that the global user base of all cryptocurrencies increased by nearly 190 percent between 2018 and 2020 The increase in demographics might have been caused by both a rise in the number of accounts as well as improvements in identification. More accounts in exchanges or wallets became systematically linked to an individual’s identity, which made it easier to estimate the minimum user numbers associated with accounts on each service provider.

Bitcoin wallets vary per country

The figures provided cover Blockchain.com - a wallet available across several countries worldwide. However, the preferred app in each country varies significantly per individual region or country. Take, for instance, the United States: Coinbase reached a number of daily active users (DAU) in the United States that was over 10 times that of Blockchain Wallet. This was different from Nigeria, where Coinbase had little DAU compared to an app called Luno - which already was the biggest cryptocurrency app in the African country before 2021.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF received around 15 billion dollars' worth of investment inflow since January 2024, whereas Grayscale lost 16 billion. This is according to a day-to-day investment flow timeline involving 10 of the 11 Bitcoin ETFs that got approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in early 2024. The highest inflow towards these ETFs occurred in March, coinciding with the Bitcoin price's all-time high and a general increase in Bitcoin trading volume. Note that the figures here do not cover all Bitcoin ETFs found throughout the world. That said, the United States investment vehicles tend to be the largest and most impactful ones. In April 2024, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) approved three ETFs, but their potential impact is not yet clear - if only because mainland China does not allow for crypto trading after the country banned crypto mining in 2021.
