Singapore Crypto Adoption Rises, Youth Drive Demand

Singapore crypto adoption is rising among retail investors, although exposure remains conservative, a joint SingSaver–Coinbase Pulse of Crypto Survey shows.

The August poll of 3,513 respondents found 61% hold crypto, yet 74% of these allocate less than 10% of assets to it, and only 8% hold more than 25%.

Median portfolios total SGD3,000–5,000 (USD2,210–3,683), with the average investor owning three tokens, mostly coins. Some 58% identify as HODL-style investors, while 20% trade actively.

Over 70% of crypto owners are aged 18–34, highlighting youth-driven demand. Social media remains the top learning channel, while volatility and knowledge gaps are the biggest barriers.

The Singapore crypto adoption trend reveals cautious participation alongside rising interest from younger demographics.
