According to the Crypto Wealth Report 2024 by Henley & Partners, the number of individuals holding over $1 million in digital assets has soared by 95% to 172,300.
Interestingly, Andrew Amoils, Head of Research at New World Wealth, notes that the growth among millionaires has outpaced those with 10-figure fortunes and above, with BTC being a major driver of this trend. “Among the six new crypto billionaires created in the past year, five are Bitcoin-centric,” he explained.
António Henriques, CEO of Bison Bank, emphasized the transformative effect of such assets on global finance, stating, “We are entering a new era where digital assets are challenging the dominance of traditional fiat currencies.”Furthermore, Henry Burrows, the top executive at Hoptrail, highlighted a shift in wealth generation, observing that contemporary wealth is increasingly coming from virtual assets rather than traditional investments.
