Gemini2024 Global State of Crypto
The cryptocurrency industry has returned to the spotlight in 2024 for all the right reasons.
Spot bitcoin and ether ETFs began trading in January and July, respectively. The price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have surged back toward all-time highs. And institutional investors have become increasingly bullish on the future of digital assets.
In Gemini’s 2024 Global State of Crypto Report, we analyzed the current state of the crypto market and attitudes surrounding digital assets, including the impact of spot bitcoin ETFs, how crypto policies will impact voters’ decisions in the upcoming US election, whether investors are planning to buy more crypto in the coming year, the lingering gender gap among crypto owners, and more.
To conduct the report, Data Driven Consulting surveyed 6,000 adults (crypto owners and non-owners) across the US, UK, France, Singapore, and Turkey, uncovering compelling insights about the current state of the industry.
