A Reown and YouGov survey of over 1,000 crypto users found that 38% own stablecoins, surpassing Solana holders at 37%. Bitcoin and Ethereum remain dominant, with 48% ownership each. The report underscores crypto’s shift toward utility over speculation, with stablecoins and payments emerging as key drivers. Crypto trading remains the top onchain activity (36%), but payments rank second (10%) and are the most anticipated future use (14%). Adoption has grown year-on-year, with 34% of WalletConnect users engaging in crypto payments. Regulatory clarity, like the U.S. GENIUS Act, and Circle’s IPO signal stablecoins’ rising importance. However, UX challenges persist, with 70% of users still relying on centralized exchanges. Reown aims to bridge this gap with tools like AppKit, simplifying multi-chain transactions and compliance. Industry leaders predict the next wave of crypto adoption will come from seamless payment experiences.
