More Than 67 Million Americans Use Crypto Today
Tens of millions more are curious but unsure where to start, what’s safe, or who to trust. That knowledge gap is the single biggest barrier to responsible adoption — and the gap we exist to close.
A Letter From Our PresidentStu Alderoty
Today, more than 67 million American adults own cryptocurrency — nearly one in four, up from one in five just a year ago.
That growth tells only part of the story. The bigger story is why so many people are turning to crypto in the first place: they want tools that fit how they live today — tools that move at the speed of modern life and give them more control over how they save, spend, and build.
At the National Cryptocurrency Association, we believe crypto is at its best when it works the way people live today: simply, practically, and with real relevance to everyday life. That is the lens through which we do our work.
The resources throughout our website are a glimpse of that work in action. Whether you are simply curious or ready to learn the basics, we hope our resources give you a clearer, more confident place to start.
