Bitcoin transactions from the UK grew steadily during 2020, as the cryptocurrency's price gathered pace, but did were not nearly as high as in late 2017. This conclusion reveals itself after investigating Bitcoin trading volume against domestic currencies used for the transaction of the virtual currency. The United Kingdom ranks as one of the countries with the most Bitcoin trading in the world in 2020.

It should be noted that the source believes the domestic currencies are mainly used by the domestic population: it assumes UK residents are the only ones who make transactions with British pounds. Whether this assumption is right or not, cannot be verified here. Also, the source does not explain the big difference between 2017 and 2021, or whether the high trading volume in 2017 was tied to a specific event.

In January 2021, Coinbase reached its highest ever number of daily active users (DAU) in the United States as the use of cryptocurrency apps grew. Now reaching over ******* DAUs, Coinbase had roughly ** times more users than Blockchain Wallet. Noticeable, however, is the large increase in users among several applications that allow for either buying or storing Bitcoin: The app of Crypto.com saw its DAU double between December 2020 and January 2021, whereas Voyager's tripled within three months. Cryptocurrency interest grew during this same as the Bitcoin price surged to new heights in late 2020 and early 2021.

Cryptocurrency and the U.S.: the future or a hoax?

Bitcoin trading volume against ** domestic currencies used for the transaction of the digital coin was the highest in the United States in 2020, potentially indicating the Bitcoin market in the country could be the largest worldwide. U.S. consumers, however, seem to have mixed feelings towards digital coins. In *** surveys in 2021 and 2019 the number of respondents who said that they had not invested in digital currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, and were not going to, remained the same. Indeed, the United States ranked **** in a ranking of cryptocurrency ownership across ** countries worldwide in 2020.

Is PayPal changing this situation?

A noticeable app not included in this overview is PayPal: The U.S. version of the mobile payments app offers the option for purchasing and storing various virtual currencies since October 2020. The DAU metric, however, does not allow for showing what potential impact this new feature had on the use of the PayPal app. The app already ranked as the most popular U.S. mobile payment app based on user experience in 2021. However, a successful application of crypto features in an app like this could make it easier for consumers in the United States to buy a cryptocurrency, potentially influencing the country's attitude towards cryptocurrencies.

Interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in 2020 was seemingly higher in Africa and Latin America than some of the world's developed economies. This shows after analyzing Bitcoin trading volume against domestic currencies used for the transaction of the digital coin. In 2020, roughly *** million U.S. dollars worth of Russian rubles were used to buy Bitcoin on an exchange, against *** million U.S. dollars worth of Nigerian naira. The source assumes the currencies are mainly used by the domestic population - e.g., transactions made with British pounds are likely done by UK residents -, and makes the same assumption for the United States, despite the international appeal of the U.S. dollar on foreign exchange markets. Africa and Latin America lead the way Although the source does not mention all countries in Africa and Latin America, the few entries these regions do have in the list stand out. Bitcoin trading volume in Nigeria, for instance, was twice as high as that of the eurozone in 2020. Colombia's market size was twice that of Canada. Whether this interest is for actual payment use on a day-to-day basis or as a tool for investment is not really clear. Data from Statista's Global Consumer Survey on payment methods in Egypt reveals that * percent of Egyptians either owned or used Bitcoin, but does not specify the exact use or purpose of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin: the "Renaissance" Believed by some to fade into obscurity after hitting the news in 2017 and price declines that followed afterward, the world's most well-known cryptocurrency witnessed a "rebirth" at the end of 2020: Within five days in January 2021, the price of Bitcoin soared from ****** U.S. dollars to ****** U.S. dollars. Bitcoin's market cap - calculated by multiplying the total number of Bitcoins in circulation against its price - grew as well, more than doubling in early January 2021 against November 2020.

How many cryptocurrencies are there? In short, there were over ******as of November 2025, although there were many more digital coins in the early months of 2022. Note, however, that a large portion of cryptocurrencies might not be that significant. There are other estimates of roughly ****** cryptocurrencies existing, but most of these are either inactive or discontinued. Due to how open the creation process of a cryptocurrency is, it is relatively easy to make one. Indeed, the top 20 cryptocurrencies make up nearly ** percent of the total market. Why are there thousands of cryptocurrencies? Any private individual or company that knows how to write a program on a blockchain can technically create a cryptocurrency. That blockchain can be an existing one. Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain are popular blockchain platforms for such ends, including smart contracts within Decentralized Finance (DeFi). The ease of crypto creation allows some individuals to find solutions to real-world payment problems while others hope to make a quick profit. This explains why some crypto lack utility. Meme coins such as Dogecoin - named after a Japanese dog species - are an infamous example, with Dogecoin's creator coming out and stating the coin started as a joke. The many types of cryptocurrency Meme coins are but one group of cryptocurrencies. Other types include altcoins, utility tokens, governance tokens, and stablecoins. Altcoins are often measured against Bitcoin, as this refers to all crypto that followed Bitcoin - the first digital currency ever created. Utility tokens and governance tokens are somewhat connected to NFTs and the metaverse. A specific example is the MANA cryptocurrency, which allows real estate purchases in the Decentraland metaverse. Stablecoins refer to the likes of Tether, which are pegged to a real-world asset like the U.S. dollar. Such coins are meant to be less volatile than regular cryptocurrency.

It is estimated that the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies increased in early 2023 after the downfall in November 2022 due to FTX. That value declined in the summer of 2023, however, as international uncertainty grew over a potential recession. Bitcoin's market cap comprised the majority of the overall market capitalization. What is market cap? Market capitalization is a financial measure typically used for publicly traded firms, computed by multiplying the share price by the number of outstanding shares. However, cryptocurrency analysts calculate it as the price of the virtual currencies times the number of coins in the market. This gives cryptocurrency investors an idea of the overall market size, and watching the evolution of the measure tells how much money is flowing in or out of each cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency as an investment The price of Bitcoin has been erratic, and most other cryptocurrencies follow its larger price swings. This volatility attracts investors who hope to buy when the price is low and sell at its peak, turning a profit. However, this does little for price stability. As such, few firms accept payment in cryptocurrencies. As of October 01, 2025, the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies reached a value of *******.

In August 2025, the trade surplus in China amounted to approximately ****** billion U.S. dollars. A positive value implies a trade surplus, a negative trade balance implies a trade deficit. International trade in China China surpassed the United States as the worlds’ largest goods trading economy in 2013. Despite the impacts of the global coronavirus pandemic, the total value of China’s imports and exports amounted to more than *** trillion U.S. dollars in 2024.China has become a vital trade partner for many economies. In 2024, over *** billion U.S. dollars worth of the United States’ imports originated in China, making China its second-largest import partner. A trade surplus occurs when exports of a country exceed its imports. It leads to a net inflow of domestic currency from foreign countries. The trade balance is a major growth factor for an economy. Because of running a large trade surplus, China holds a vast amount of foreign exchange reserves. Foreign exchange reserves may be viewed as a sign of national strength, but also represent a form of forced savings on the people. China was the country with the highest trade surplus of approximately ****** billion U.S. dollars as of 2023.

Nigeria's interest in Bitcoins reached a peak during the summer of 2020, reaching the highest level since early 2018. This conclusion reveals itself after investigating Bitcoin trading volume against domestic currencies used for the transaction of the virtual currency. The African country was said to be one of the three countries with the most Bitcoin trading in the world in 2020.

It should be noted that the source believes the domestic currencies are mainly used by the domestic population: it assumes residents from Nigeria are the only ones who make transactions using Nigerian naira. Whether this assumption is right or not, cannot be verified here. Also, the source does not explain the peak found in 2018, or whether the high trading volume in 2017 was tied to a specific event.
