Crypto Goes Mainstream: Not Just for Bros Anymore

Crypto isn’t just a tech bro’s playground anymore. It’s on job sites, in kitchens, and art studios. The National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) just dropped its 2025 report, and it’s wild: 55 million Americans own crypto.

Yep, that includes artists in Chicago, construction workers in Oklahoma, and yes—even grandmas in Kansas.

Crypto’s New Face
21% of U.S. adults own crypto now. And they’re not flexing Lambos. Most are using crypto for stuff like shopping or sending money to family. Nearly 40% have paid for products with crypto. One in five do it weekly.

Why People Got In
60% say they joined crypto for investing. Half were just curious. Others wanted to shop online without the usual hassles.

Everyday Uses
People aren’t chasing moon coins. They’re paying bills. Sending money. Shopping. Crypto’s becoming the “normal” way.

Not Just Young Guys Anymore
67% of holders are under 45, but 9 million are over 55. About 17 million women hold crypto too. It’s not just bros with LED-lit keyboards anymore.

Serious Use Cases
From tracking beef on Kansas ranches to single moms learning crypto trading—people are doing real things. Some say it’s a better financial system.

Still Some Worries
75% worry about scams. Only 3% say they’ve been scammed. Most people own less than $10K in crypto. Big crimes are rare and flashy, not everyday.

They Want to Learn
81% want better info—not hype. They want the real deal on taxes, investing, and how this stuff works.

The Regulation Balancing Act
64% want crypto regulated. 67% fear too much regulation could ruin it. People want balance: protection without killing innovation.

Big Politics, Big Moves
With Trump back in office and a crypto-friendly Treasury Secretary, things look good for U.S. crypto growth. Bills are on the table. It’s getting real.
