TechFlow News, February 23: According to a recent report by Crypto.com cited by Tech in Asia, the global number of cryptocurrency holders rose from 659 million in 2024 to 741 million in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.4%. The report attributes this growth primarily to heightened institutional adoption and pro-crypto policies in the United States—including the establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
In terms of holding composition, Bitcoin holders increased by 8.3% to 365 million, accounting for nearly half of all global cryptocurrency holders; Ethereum holders grew by 22.6% to 175 million, representing approximately 24%.
Against a broader market backdrop, stablecoins accounted for 30% of total cryptocurrency transaction volume from January to July 2025, with transaction value exceeding $4 trillion during the same period. Meanwhile, the on-chain value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) surpassed $30 billion by mid-September, up 93% from the start of the year—of which private credit reached nearly $17 billion, and tokenized U.S. Treasury securities exceeded $7 billion.
