Global Crypto Ownership Soars Amid Regulatory Gaps

[tradelikepro]

Global digital asset ownership reached an estimated 562 million people in 2024, up 33% from the previous year, according to Moody’s. Yet fewer than one-third of countries have comprehensive crypto regulations, leaving many economies exposed to volatility.

While advanced economies benefit from regulatory clarity, emerging markets see the fastest growth, highlighting the tension between financial inclusion and systemic risk. The agency stresses that stablecoins’ perceived safety masks vulnerabilities, such as runs on reserves or peg collapses.

Moody’s emphasizes that oversight must keep pace with adoption to prevent potential financial instability.

Emerging markets are driving adoption, but without strong regulations, stablecoin failures or reserve runs could trigger major shocks.
