Crypto adoption kept accelerating through 2025. By year-end, the global crypto user base had climbed to approximately 737 million people—a remarkable milestone. What's more intriguing? Current trends suggest we could see 800–900 million users by 2026 if growth maintains its ~0.8% monthly average pace. That steady momentum reflects how digital assets are becoming more embedded in everyday financial activity worldwide, even amid market volatility.

Over 700 million users now, indicating that everyone still has confidence in this area. However, a 0.8% monthly growth rate... this growth is really somewhat unbelievable. Or is there some distortion in the data itself?

Is it 737 million people? Are they exaggerating or is it true? How many were there last year?

737 million? The growth rate seems a bit slow, feels exaggerated.

actually the 0.8% mom growth rate is oddly conservative given adoption curves typically follow s-curve distributions, not linear projections... you're basically assuming zero network effects acceleration which doesn't track with historical data tbh

Wow, 737 million? Is this growth really steady... By the way, I still have a bunch of people around me who don't touch crypto at all. How did these numbers come about?

737 million people now, I really can't imagine. Is this growth rate for real?

actually hold up—let me break this down mathematically real quick. if we're talking 0.8% MoM growth, that's not linear adoption we're looking at here. compound that over 12 months and the math gets way messier than the article suggests, ceteris paribus
