Yes there is a tendency that other wallets are made by the same person but that number is still large compared to 8 million then. Because just like before they can create multiple bitcoin addresses, and why not? Bitcoin wallets would have been huge by then if people had made many wallets. And I think the number of crypto currecy users has increased dramatically since the bull run of 2017 to date.

More than 40 million cryptocurrency wallets have been created, as of mid-2019, according to market data provider Statista. The report from Statista revealed that there were only around 8 million digital asset wallets in 2016.

There is no argument or doubt that there are more people in the market than what it was three years back and there will be more investors coming into the market every year but the problem here is that you cannot evaluate things just by looking at the amount of wallets created, coinbase can release the amount of registered users but some company released the data about the number of wallets created .

The latest numbers from Statista’s report are quite staggering when you consider they’re based on the growth of a single crypto wallet provider, Blockchain.com.

Some companies will be using their API and you can create as many wallets as you want and it is free so that does not make any sense to evaluate things because of the wallets created.

This is only 40 million wallets based on a single service, correct? Are the statistics per person, or can someone have a Bitcoin, Ethereum and Stellar wallet and it would be counted as a 3 different wallets?

Interesting statistics, I'm taking it with a grain of salt though, I don't think it actually reflects 40 million new crypto users, probably something more like 20 million - still huge though, especially since it's not even the biggest mainstream wallet provider (Coinbase probably is).

A better indicator would be mobile wallets. This is the major factor to consider instead of some random browser numbers that can be created by bot scripts.

They have a blockchain app, don't they? Are stats for how many downloads on that specific wallet available? From checking the wallet stats on google play, it only looks like it has 5 million + downloads. Shocked

Not sure this data really means anything. I can't even begin to tell you how many wallets I've downloaded since getting into crypto, but it has to be a few dozen with all the bitcoin and altcoin ones I've tried out for both my PC and smartphone. It isn't as if the 40 million figure represents individual downloaders of wallets.

That's true, though all the numbers can be skewed in some way, plus it's questionable as to what the significance is with them anyway.

Good article but I doubt they gather all the data regarding this subject. Anyway , its good to see that more and more people are coming into crypto space as this mean the adoption is working and slowly rising. We must also take in consideration that there are a lot of multiple wallets of the same user but still the number is quite big vs 2017 or other years so I'm expecting a double in numbers in 2020 in creating of wallets and the numbers will increase from year to year. Adoption works , I'm happy!

From 8 milions in 2016 to 40 milions this year is not really a big change at least not what most crypto enthusiasts expect (taking in consideration the 2017 bull run).
Moreover, I think it is a bad indicator. After all these years and people are still using web wallets!
It would be Interesting to see how many users use hardware wallet and how many use desktop wallets.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

Those statistics are astounding indeed. 5X more wallets in 3 years and let's be serious...most of the crypto users are not using web based wallets like the one blockchain.info provides. Most of the wallets are software wallets like Electrum, Armory, Bitpay, etc. Of course that web wallets are more convenient and maybe people who are not concerned about their security and feel safe to trust a third party with their funds would use them, but still.. I strongly believe that the vast majority of crypto wallets are not web-hosted.

Yeah the article pointed out that as well and these numbers cannot represent the total number of users in the industry, considering the fact that anyone can own multiple wallets and create multiple accounts this cannot simply translate into the demand or growth in the industry. What's more interesting to see is to actually see the use of cryptocurrencies in our everyday lives this is where the point that we will see cryptocurrencies in general are growing in our world. The volume of wallets created cannot show any important things about growth, it simply just a number of wallets we don't even know what number of them are active or not.

The latest numbers from Statista’s report are quite staggering when you consider they’re based on the growth of a single crypto wallet provider, Blockchain.com.

The London-based wallet provider offers one of the most widely-used wallet clients which includes support for Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Stellar (XLM), Paxos Standard Token (PAX), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
