JAKARTA - The global population figure has just reached a major milestone, after it has recorded 8 billion people now inhabiting Planet Earth. Meanwhile, the adoption of cryptocurrencies also continues to grow.
According to Worldometers, which takes an estimate from the United Nations (UN) report in 2022, the global population reached more than 8 billion on November 15, double the total population of 4 billion in 1974 or about 48 years ago.
Worldometers says that by 2022, the population's annual growth rate will be around 0.84% but will continue to slow down. This could mean it will take 15 more years for the world's population to reach 9 billion, but the world's population will not reach 10 billion by 2080.
China and India are the two most populous countries, with nearly 36% of the global population between the two. The third position is occupied by the United States and Indonesia is in fourth place.
Based on the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI) of the Ministry of Trade, the number of crypto asset investors in Indonesia in February 2022 reached 12.4 million investors.

While citing data from Chain Analysis, Oscar said, Indonesia occupies the fifth position in Southeast Asia after Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia and occupies the 25th position in the world regarding crypto adoption in 2021.
However, there is currently no consensus on how much of the world's population currently has digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, with varying estimates.
GWI market research firms show that 10.2% of global internet users aged 16 to 64 years own crypto, with most of their holdings leaning towards countries experiencing high inflation or fluctuations in their national fiat value.
Singapore-based blockchain company TripleA estimates that by 2022, global crypto holdings will be around 4.2%, with more than 320 million crypto users worldwide. It is reported that the United States is at the top with 46 million crypto holders, followed by India, Pakistan, and Nigeria.
In June, Blockware Intelligence predicts that Bitcoin adoption alone will reach 10% worldwide by 2030, as reported by Cointelegraph earlier this year.
Earlier this year, Chainalysis ranked 146 countries in five categories in the 2022 Global Crypto Adoption Index. It was found that Vietnam leads the package for the overall adoption rate, followed by the Philippines, India, Ukraine, and the United States. However, the report does not show the true ownership figures.
China remains a difficult country to ensure the level of crypto ownership. Most of the population in the world's most populous country is understood as a person who understands technology and is hungry for crypto. However, the ruling regime has other ideas at this time, with the ban on strict crypto trading so that there is no accurate crypto ownership rate.
