As of 2024, the number of cryptocurrency holders or traders in the United States is significant, with approximately 48.8 million US adults owning cryptocurrencies, which represents about 14.36% of the adult population. This reflects a substantial adoption rate and highlights the growing interest and investment in digital assets among Americans (Source: Coinweb).
Additionally, the interest of the US government in cryptocurrencies has been increasing. Notably, former President Donald Trump has made significant strides in engaging with the crypto community. At the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump delivered a speech expressing strong support for the American Bitcoin industry. He emphasized his vision of making the US the "Crypto Capital of the Planet" and promised policies that would protect and promote the use of cryptocurrencies.
Trump's campaign has also started accepting cryptocurrency donations, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, marking a notable shift from his previous stance on digital currencies. This move has been well-received within the crypto community and is seen as part of a broader strategy to engage with crypto enthusiasts and advocate for financial freedom and less regulation (Source: Blockonomi and 77 WABC News Talk Music Radio Network).
