Largest-ever crypto survey reveals shocking number of American holders
Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, who is now the president of the newly formed National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA), has published the largest-ever survey of American crypto holders. NCA is a non-profit funded by Ripple that focuses on crypto education.
The numbers are stark: 21% of U.S. adults — approximately 55 million people — currently hold digital assets.
According to the latest iteration of the State of the Crypto Holders Report 2025, in partnership with The Harris Poll, cryptocurrencies have become deeply rooted in everyday life in America.
Almost 76% of users mentioned that crypto has positively impacted their lives, and about 49% cited increased financial independence as one of the top benefits.
