There are:

- 2790 in Cryptocurrency apps in Google Play
- 651 in the Apple Store
- 288 hardware wallets
- 44 bearer tokens
Roughly 3,770 ways, to HODL.

The fact that there are 4x the number of Android wallets than iOS wallets indicate that a large percentage of them are either counterfeits or outright malicious apps. Same for the App Store, but at a smaller scale. So I wouldn't include all those apps as legitimate wallets if I were you.

Make some leeway and put the headcount at about 70% of them being malicious, and then we'd be at a more accurate count.
