In Thailand, cryptocurrency is increasingly gaining attention, though not everyone is fully on board just yet. Around half of the population indicates that they are familiar with the concept of cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, this means that a significant portion still isn’t familiar with it. Some people might be more aware of cryptocurrencies than others, possibly because of factors like age, education, or access to technology.
When it comes to ownership or use of cryptocurrencies, the situation shifts noticeably. An impressive 75.77% of people in Thailand report having used or owned cryptocurrency at some point. It's clear that the cryptocurrency market in Thailand is experiencing a high level of adoption.
When asked about their level of interest in cryptocurrency, more than half say they are interested in learning more, though they don't yet own any cryptocurrency. The next largest group expresses skepticism, pointing out concerns about the risks and volatility that often accompany cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, a significant group simply have no interest, showing that for some, the idea of digital currencies still doesn’t resonate. Only a small percentage—about 10%—have previously owned cryptocurrency but no longer do, likely due to a challenging initial experience or a lack of long-term value perception.
Mobile wallets and apps are the most popular way people manage and store their digital assets. The convenience and accessibility of keeping cryptocurrency on a phone make it especially attractive to younger, tech-savvy individuals. Following close behind are cryptocurrency exchanges, which remain a common choice for those looking to buy, sell, or hold their digital currencies. Surprisingly, financial apps that combine cryptocurrency management with banking and investing services have gained a good number of users.
Looking at the exchanges and platforms that people in Thailand are using to access cryptocurrencies, Binance stands out as the most popular. This is followed by Bitkub, a local player in the crypto exchange space. It’s also worth noting that global exchanges like Coinbase, KuCoin, and PayPal are involved, though their adoption in Thailand remains relatively limited, with usage figures hovering below 3%.
73.25% of Thais have either owned or used Bitcoin, making it the most dominant cryptocurrency. Ethereum ranks second, though it holds a significantly smaller share of the market. Other cryptocurrencies, such as Dogecoin and Tron, attract more niche interest but remain far less popular than Bitcoin.
