Key Takeaways

Bitcoin stands out as the most traded cryptocurrency in South Africa, with 30.92% of respondents reporting usage. This is not surprising, as Bitcoin is the first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency globally. Its dominant position in the South African market aligns with global trends, where Bitcoin is often seen as the gateway cryptocurrency for new users and a store of value for those looking to hedge against economic uncertainty.

Ethereum follows with 4.42%, reflecting its status as a leading platform for decentralized applications and smart contracts. While not as widely traded as Bitcoin, Ethereum has a strong and dedicated user base, especially among those interested in the broader blockchain ecosystem. The relatively smaller percentage of traders might reflect Ethereum's more complex use case, which often requires more in-depth understanding compared to Bitcoin's simpler function as a digital asset.
