On a global scale,

As of 2021, Triple-A estimated global crypto ownership rates at an average of 3.9 percent, with over 300 million cryptocurrency-owners and users worldwide.
And over 18,000 businesses are already accepting cryptocurrency payments.
However, the top five countries in the “Number of crypto owners” list have India (100 million) and the US (27 million) in the first two spots.
Nigeria is in the third place with 13 million investors, Vietnam fourth with 5.9 million, and the United Kingdom fifth place with 3.3 million.

Expectations in 2022

Cryptocurrency experts, are declaring that the number of crypto owners will rise in the Middle East, mainly in the GCC countries this year.
They especially mentioned the UAE and Bahrain, where legislation makes it legal and regulated to own different digital currencies.
They talked about the Triple-A report, saying Morocco was a surprise when it came to the number of crypto owners. However, he clarified: “This is because of the financial crisis in the kingdom.”
In this context, they expected the Bitcoin price to reach $100,000 in 2022, especially as a result of the increase in the global inflation rates.
They added that the US would face financial struggles, as experts expect, which would lead to more investments in the crypto world.
