Cryptocurrency statistics 2022: Investing in crypto

Cryptocurrencies are a form of digital currency secured through cryptography and computer networks. These currencies are not overseen by traditional central institutions, like a government or bank, and transactions are performed while maintaining the semi-anonymity of buyers and sellers. The value of all existing cryptocurrency is around $919 billion, with around $389 billion of that being Bitcoin (as of July 7, 2022), according to CoinMarketCap.com. About 59.1 million Americans owned some form of cryptocurrency in 2021, according to a Morning Consult report by Morning Consult. About 16 percent of U.S. cryptocurrency owners identify as Hispanic, 24 percent of the general public, but only 15 percent of those who do not identify as the same people as the millennial population.
