South Korea Leads Global Crypto Ownership Share at 20 Percent

Citing real registration data from South Korea, Vincent Deluard shares that South Korea ranks number one globally with approximately 20% of its population owning crypto, followed by the United States at 15% and Taiwan at number three. He attributes this high adoption to South Korea's gambling culture and historical banking crises.
