Finder recently published a survey that dived into current market trends across 22 countries, uncovering which cryptocurrencies, besides Bitcoin (BTC), are driving the adoption across the globe.

While publishing a definitive ranking of the most popular cryptos per country, the independent comparison platform also addressed the investor demographics, revealing that only in Mexico is crypto adoption higher among women than men.

Surveys are conducted monthly in the United States, Australia, the UK, Mexico, Germany, and Canada, and quarterly in all other countries.

The survey results revealed the key global cryptocurrency trends, as adoption continues gaining traction worldwide. Currently, a little over 1 in 10 (11,4%) adults own crypto globally.

“Nigeria has the highest rate of cryptocurrency ownership in the world with 24,2% of its online population saying they own a form of cryptocurrency, followed by Malaysia (18%) and Australia (17,8%) respectively,” according to the survey results.

While the US ranked 10th, with 10,4%, Japan surfaced as the country with the lowest adoption, with only 4,6% of adults owning crypto.
