Australia tops crypto interest
A new report by Forex Suggest, a Forex trading platform, has named Australia the country with the highest level of cryptocurrency interest, with over 1,000 more searches per 100,000 people than second place – Ireland.
The findings also showed that the crypto market in Australia has rapidly grown with almost 18 percent of Australia’s population holding cryptocurrencies as of 2021.
Overall, Australia stands as the 15th most crypto-ready country in the world, tied with the Netherlands. Factors assessed included distribution and accessibility of crypto ATMs, legislation and taxes regarding cryptocurrency, the amount of blockchain start-ups and active searches for cryptocurrency.
And whilst the latest ATO statistics (March 2022 quarter) show the number of SMSF crypto investors are still in their infancy, there is positive crypto sentiment as we see cryptocurrency asset distribution percentage has doubled amongst the newly established funds of less than $50,000 (compared to 2018-19).

It has become one of the most popular terms in the cryptocurrency community, encouraging individuals to think for themselves and conduct due diligence before investing in a cryptocurrency.
