Singapore sees slower crypto user growth despite high adoption

Both Singapore (28%) and Hong Kong (27%) show high familiarity but slower growth in new users.

Around 28% of adults in Singapore use digital assets, placing the country well above the 16.9% global average and close to the region’s highest-adoption markets, according to a report by Consensus by Coindesk.

The analysis characterised Singapore’s position as a mature, consolidated market: both Singapore (28%) and Hong Kong (27%) show high familiarity but slower growth in new users, a pattern the report interpreted as the stabilisation that follows early mass adoption rather than an ongoing surge.

Singapore also features prominently in one of the world’s most active stablecoin-enabled remittance corridors, with routes such as Singapore–China highlighted for heavy digital-asset usage. This reflects Singapore’s role as a regional financial centre and key hub for cross-border payments.

The report placed these findings within broader Asia–Pacific dynamics, noting that more than 90% of APAC adults are aware of cryptocurrency and over half said they intend to use it within the next year.

These country-level findings sit within wider Asia–Pacific trends: over 90% of adults in the region are aware of cryptocurrency, and more than half intend to use it in the next year.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
