Singapore leads in crypto adoption with 28% ownership rate: report

This marks a rise from 26% in 2024, placing the city-state ahead of traditionally strong markets like the UK, US, and Australia.

Singapore has taken the lead in global cryptocurrency adoption, with 28% of its population now owning digital assets, more than any other country surveyed in Gemini’s 2025 State of Crypto Report.

This marks a rise from 26% in 2024, placing the city-state ahead of traditionally strong markets like the UK, US, and Australia.

The surge reflectED a maturing crypto landscape in Singapore, where both speculative and institutional products are gaining traction.

Crypto ETFs, in particular, have gained popularity, with 40% of Singaporean crypto owners investing through these vehicles.

Memecoins are also playing a significant role in driving first-time adoption. Nearly six in ten Singaporean crypto holders now own memecoins, and for almost a quarter of them, these assets were their entry point into the crypto world.

Confidence in crypto is also being shaped by international developments. Nearly one in five non-owners in Singapore say their trust in digital currencies has increased following the United States’ launch of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under President Donald Trump.

Moreover, the gender gap in crypto ownership is narrowing. Female participation in Singapore's cryptocurrency market increased from 31% to 34% over the past year, continuing a trend toward greater inclusivity.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
