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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.

The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
