The three emerging markets of Indonesia, Malaysia and South Africa enjoyed varying levels of cryptocurrency ownership at 40%, 39% and 29% respectively. The respective levels of familiarity were 63%, 57% and 69%, according to the study. In contrast, the best-performing European market in the survey was the Netherlands where cryptocurrency ownership was at 27% while the level of cryptocurrency familiarity was at 39%.

In Germany, the level of cryptocurrency familiarity was 49% while cryptocurrency ownership was at 9%. France fared slightly better with the level of cryptocurrency familiarity being 37% while cryptocurrency ownership was at 19%. In Italy, the level of cryptocurrency familiarity was 50% while the percentage of people who owned cryptocurrencies was 14%.

Does this actually mean that Europeans are less aware or knowledgeable about cryptocurrency? Or knowledge is the reason why they are wary of getting into cryptocurrency?

Please where is this studies actually coming from? I think an important country is missing here which is India. In terms of awareness and ownership, Indians are well ahead of Indonesia. I am also not to sure of South Africa being included in the top list.

But from what I heard India was banning crypto, so it cant be included, and I agree that the percentage is too high, its only small portion of Indonesia really engage and invest in crypto, in Asia crypto is very popular, and crypto is more popular in third world countries and developing countries, for Europe the investors prefer the stock, they prefer more traditional investment
