Revealed: Countries with the Highest Cryptocurrency Ownership, 2024 – CEOWORLD magazine

A recent report by CEOWORLD magazine has ranked countries based on their cryptocurrency ownership rates. The study found that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has the highest percentage of its population who own crypto, with almost 30.39% of the UAE’s total population owning crypto. This is largely due to the country’s favorable regulations towards blockchain technology, and the use of cryptocurrency is legal. Vietnam ranks second-highest among countries with the highest cryptocurrency ownership, with almost 21.19% of the total population owning crypto. The rapid digitization of the economy in Vietnam is responsible for the surge in crypto ownership across the country.

It is worth noting that if we were to rank countries based on the number of people who own cryptocurrency, India would come in first place with 93 million crypto owners, followed by China with 59 million, and the US with 52 million crypto owners coming in third place.

US Rep. Bryan Steil to chair House cryptocurrency subcommittee

US Rep. Bryan Steil to chair House cryptocurrency subcommittee

A Wisconsin congressman will head the House Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence.

Bryan Steil, a Republican representing the 1st Congressional District in southeast Wisconsin, was appointed to the role Thursday.

His subcommittee’s jurisdiction includes things like mobile banking and non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. It’ll also be the first stop for legislation on cryptocurrency.

Stay informed on the latest news

Digital currencies have a murky federal regulatory status. That allowed President Joe Biden’s Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler to go after the crypto industry.

The industry responded by spending over $130 million in 2024’s election cycle through its PAC, Fairshake.

It spent $764,206 to independently help re-elect Steil, according to campaign finance database OpenSecrets.

In a statement, Steil said “technologies like financial apps, digital assets, and machine learning revolutionize our economy,” adding that he looks forward to continuing “to provide the rules of the road to move our economy into the future.”

Steil was appointed to his new role by House Financial Services Chair French Hill, R-Arkansas. Hill’s top campaign contributors include the CEOs of the crypto exchange platform Coinbase and the Charles Schwab Corporation.

One of his legislative priorities has been a bill that would set up clearer, crypto-friendly federal financial regulations, which passed the House with bipartisan support in May. He called Steil “instrumental” in passing that bill, and in overturning an SEC rule requiring crypto exchanges to list their digital assets as liabilities on their balance sheets.

Now, the Janesville native will oversee hearings and votes on new crypto-related legislation.

As Ripple’s XRP ongoing legal troubles continue to keep traders on edge, Polkadot (DOT), Ethereum (ETH), Ethena (ENA), and Cardano (ADA) remain steady. Meanwhile, Injective (INJ), Optimism (OP), Uniswap (UNI), and Tron (TRX) show mixed signals in trading activities. In the middle of all this, whispers of a new market disruptor are growing louder—JetBolt (JBOLT), making headlines with its blazing presale and zero-gas technology.

With everything from groundbreaking ecosystems to cross-chain powerhouses, the question remains: which crypto to buy right now? Would established crypto coins or rising blockchain superstars dominate 2025? Let’s explore why JetBolt, Polkadot, XRP, Ethereum, Ethena, Optimism, Injective, Uniswap, Cardano, and Tron are the 10 best cryptocurrency coins for 2025.

Which Crypto To Buy Right Now? A Quick List

JetBolt (JBOLT): Surging new altcoin empowering gas-free transactions, AI intelligence and staking.
Ethena (ENA): Redefining stablecoins with decentralized innovation.
Optimism (OP): Scaling Ethereum with lightning-fast rollups.
Injective (INJ): Unlocking limitless decentralized trading possibilities.
Uniswap (UNI): Revolutionizing DeFi through seamless token swaps.

A Deep Dive Into the 10 Best Cryptocurrency Coins For 2025

JetBolt (JBOLT)

JetBolt (JBOLT) is shaking up the crypto world, skyrocketing its way onto traders’ radar as one of the 10 best cryptocurrency coins for 2025 to buy right now. The buzz? Zero gas fees. JetBolt’s game-changing tech, built on the Skale Network, eliminates gas fees entirely, delivering lightning-fast, gas-free transactions that are already turning heads across the crypto space.

This revolutionary feature could also supercharge creativity. Developers can now launch and create dApps, SocialFi platforms, and blockchain gaming ventures without worrying about skyrocketing gas fees holding back innovation.

But that’s not all—JetBolt goes beyond just being another zero-gas token. With an AI-driven crypto tool delivering the latest crypto news and market data straight to its platform, JetBolt is showcasing how blockchain technology and artificial intelligence can go hand-in-hand to add a new functionality to crypto.

Turning it up a notch, JetBolt’s easy-to-earn staking mechanism turns ordinary staking into an electrifying experience. With its sleek, user-friendly Web3 wallet, joining is as effortless as a few clicks. And the twist: staking isn’t just about locking in tokens—it’s about active participation. Engage within the ecosystem and stakers earn even more rewards.

Meanwhile, JetBolt’s presale numbers don’t lie. Over 250 million JBOLT tokens have already been scooped up, with whales diving in to secure their piece of this zero-gas action. In addition, JetBolt’s Alpha Boxes, an exclusive presale perk that boosts batch token purchases by up to 25%, have been flying off the shelves, creating a frenzy that shows no signs of slowing down.

In a world where high gas fees and slow transactions plague most blockchains, JetBolt delivers something truly revolutionary. With every cutting-edge feature thoughtfully designed to resonate with modern and future crypto users, JetBolt quietly sets the bar higher for what blockchain networks can deliver—blending innovation and ease of use into a whole new crypto experience.

Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot (DOT) has dropped over 5% in the past week to $6.71 amid $1.23 million in long liquidations. Despite the dip, its advanced parachain technology and expanding ecosystem position Polkadot as a key player in 2025’s multichain future, with crypto analysts targeting $20 soon.

Ripple (XRP)

Ripple’s (XRP) price holds at $2.34 with a $134.48 billion market cap. Crypto analysts anticipate a $3 breakout, driven by Ripple’s renewed U.S. expansion amid regulatory optimism under Trump. Its focus on blockchain-based CBDC solutions positions XRP as a key player for 2025.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum (ETH) trades at $3,319.97 following a 10% drop after the Foundation’s 100 ETH sale. Key support stands at $3,061, with resistance at $3,500. Despite short-term bearish momentum, Ethereum’s dominance in DeFi, staking, and upcoming Danksharding upgrade makes it a top contender for 2025.

Ethena (ENA)

Ethena (ENA) faces bearish momentum, trading at $0.9295 with a $2.81 billion market cap. The Death Cross and oversold RSI signal risks, though possible rebounds could push Ethena toward $1.01.

Meanwhile, Trump’s World Liberty Financial putting in millions in Ethena has fueled bullish sentiment, signaling growing institutional interest. This strategic move could boost ENA’s credibility and adoption, providing holders possible stability and long-term value.

X posts by Panos highlight Trump’s World Liberty Financial purchasing millions of dollars in Ethena (ENA)

In addition, its unique stablecoin protocol expansion strengthens Ethena’s DeFi appeal, further establishing it as one of the top picks for 2025.

Optimism (OP)

Optimism (OP) trades at $1.79 with a $2.41 billion market cap. Despite recent bearish sentiment, its Bedrock upgrade, reducing transaction costs by 40%, positions Optimism as a key Ethereum Layer 2 solution. Crypto analysts eye $2.20 resistance and possible $3.00 targets for OP.

Injective (INJ)

Injective (INJ) is now priced at $21.18 with key support at $22 and resistance near $26. A breakout from its descending channel hints at possible bullish trajectories. Injective’s unique focus on decentralized derivatives trading and cross-chain liquidity positions it among 2025’s top cryptocurrencies.

Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap (UNI) struggles with a 0.33% daily dip, trading at $12.99 with a $7.8 billion market cap. Despite bearish trends, its innovative decentralized exchange model and Layer 2 scaling solutions could drive renewed interest, positioning UNI as a top 2025 contender.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano (ADA) now trades at $0.9286 with a $32.67 billion market cap. Crypto analysts predict a price range of $1.50 to $2.50 in 2025, depending on key support levels and market sentiment. Cardano’s Hydra upgrade pledges scalability, boosting adoption across decentralized applications.

Tron (TRX)

Tron (TRX) is holding just a little above key support at $0.245, currently pinned at $0.2463. A possible breakout above $0.2700 could push TRX’s prices toward $0.40. Recent partnerships and its ISO 20022 integration further position Tron as a top blockchain for institutional adoption.

What is the best crypto to buy right now in 2025?

While nothing in crypto is ever guaranteed, JetBolt (JBOLT) stands out as one of the top choices for the best cryptocurrency coins to buy right now. With its zero-gas technology, crypto-earning staking model, and AI-powered functionality, JetBolt is leading the way in redefining user-friendly blockchain experiences.

U.S. Senate to Launch Cryptocurrency Subcommittee, Lummis Tapped as Chair

U.S. Senate to Launch Cryptocurrency Subcommittee, Lummis Tapped as Chair

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee, under the leadership of Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), is poised to establish a dedicated cryptocurrency subcommittee to advance discussions on digital asset regulation and industry oversight, according to a report by Fox News.

The formation of this subcommittee, modeled after a similar House panel created in 2023, marks a pivotal step toward a more structured approach to crypto legislation at the federal level.

A Senate aide told Fox News that Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a staunch advocate for cryptocurrency, is the tentative choice to chair this groundbreaking panel. The selection of Lummis, pending a committee vote next Thursday, signals a shift in the Senate’s approach to digital assets. Alongside her nomination, the subcommittee members, representing both Republican and Democratic sides, will also be finalized through the same voting process.

Lummis, known for her vocal support of Bitcoin, has described the asset as “freedom money” and has advocated for its potential to hedge against inflation and enhance financial independence.

She previously proposed a plan for the US to acquire a significant stake in the total Bitcoin supply through a 1-million-unit purchase program over a set period. “Establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve to bolster the U.S. dollar with a digital hard asset will secure our nation’s standing as the global financial leader for decades to come,” Lummis said at the time.

Her leadership could steer the subcommittee toward developing a more balanced regulatory framework, fostering innovation while ensuring market integrity.

Senator Tim Scott first hinted at the possibility of forming a crypto-focused subcommittee during the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium last August. “Wouldn’t it be kind of cool if we had a subcommittee on the Banking Committee… so that we bring more light to the conversation, more hearings on the industry, so that we get things done faster?” Scott remarked, highlighting his vision for streamlined legislative action.

This move comes as Scott replaces outgoing Chair Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who maintained a more critical stance on cryptocurrency. Brown frequently called for stricter oversight, citing concerns about crypto’s role in enabling illicit activities and circumventing sanctions. The change in leadership, coupled with the creation of a dedicated subcommittee, could lead to a friendlier regulatory environment for digital assets under the new administration.

Notably, the subcommittee will include other crypto-friendly lawmakers such as Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and newly elected Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), both vocal supporters of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Moreno, who defeated Brown in the November elections, has vowed to champion crypto-friendly policies in the Senate.
