The average age of a cryptocurrency trader (or investor, as the terms often overlap in surveys) varies depending on the region, survey methodology, and exact definition (e.g., active traders vs. holders), but recent data from 2024–2026 consistently points to a relatively young demographic, typically in the mid-30s to early 40s.
Key Findings from Recent Surveys and Reports
• Global perspective: Many sources highlight that the largest groups of crypto users/investors fall in the 25–44 age range. For example:
• A 2025 CryptoQuant survey found over 60% of crypto investors aged 25–44 (35% aged 25–34, 26% aged 35–44).
U.S.-focused data (most detailed and frequently reported):
• Security.org’s 2026 Cryptocurrency Adoption and Sentiment Report estimates roughly two-thirds of U.S. crypto owners fall in the 30–59 range, with the biggest single group often 30–44 (around 32% overall, higher for men at 35%).
• Some older reports (e.g., from Pew, Gallup, and academic studies) show strong participation from younger adults (18–29 or 18–49), especially men, but ownership broadens into middle age.
• Implied averages from distributions often land around 37–42 (e.g., one study reported an average of nearly 42 for owners vs. 49.7 for non-owners; another placed the median at 45 in certain contexts).
