According to a Finder survey, the highest percentage of Bitcoin owners in Latin America is in Brazil.
Finder, the data analyst, and consulting company released, a few days ago, relevant metrics regarding the adoption of cryptocurrencies globally. In Latin America, countries such as Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico were the most prominent, according to data from this consultancy.
It should be noted that the Finder data in its report was obtained using the three-month moving average, which consisted of responses collected from people from 26 different countries between the months of May and July 2022, a period during which Finder claims to have received 217,947 responses.
In the first place, we have the global crypto adoption metric, where Venezuela appeared with a wide result (18%) that took it to the eighth position in the table, and to be the first country in Latin America with the highest level of crypto adoption in the region.
India appears as the country, according to Finder, with the highest adoption of cryptocurrencies globally with a percentage of 29%.
Regarding the other Latin American countries, Brazil follows Venezuela in the ninth position with just 17%, Colombia is in twelfth place with 15%, while Argentina and Mexico are in 15th and 16th positions with 13% both.
The Biggest Bitcoin Owners
Another of the metrics to be evaluated by Finder was the level of adoption, specifically of Bitcoin, in the various countries that were surveyed.
It should be noted that according to the published report, El Salvador was not considered, resulting in this table being led by Australia (60%), followed by four African countries such as Ghana (54%), South Africa (52%), Kenya (49%), Nigeria (47%).
In such table, the Latin American countries were not protagonists, as compared to the other countries, since Brazil barely appeared in the eighteenth position with 31% adoption, followed by Argentina with 30%, Venezuela (28%) occupied the 22nd place, Colombia (27%) the 23rd, and Mexico the last place with just 23%.
Likewise, among the Latin American countries surveyed, Venezuela appeared as the country with the least adoption of Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, since it occupied the last place, with 13% in the adoption of Ether, 13% Doge, and 9 % of ADA.
Men Outnumber Women
On the other hand, according to Finder, there is a huge gap in crypto adoption between men and women. Of those who own cryptocurrencies, an average of 36% are women, as compared to 64% of men.
Norway, which leads the table, has the widest gap, with 74% of people who own cryptocurrencies being men. On the other side are Colombia and Vietnam, with a smaller difference between the genders: 56% of men, and 44% of women.
In relation to the other Latin American countries, Argentina and Venezuela have a wider gap: 62% for men, and 38% for women. For its part, Brazil had 60% for men and 40% for women, while Mexico obtained 59% for men and 41% for women.
