A Look Back at Norway’s Crypto Adoption Journey

Norwegian crypto adoption has come a long way since we conducted our first annual Crypto Adoption Survey in 2018. Back then, approximately 210,000 Norwegians owned cryptocurrency. By February 2024, that number had nearly doubled to 395,000. With a thriving crypto industry in 2024, how has this impacted ownership demographics and behaviors in Norway?

The big reveal happens on Friday, March 28, from 11:00 to 14:00 CET—don’t miss it!

Crypto Ownership Across the Nordics: A Closer Look

At first glance, one might assume that Norwegian crypto adoption mirrors the rest of the Nordics, but we’ve long suspected otherwise. Factors like tax policies, banking regulation, and local currency differences play a crucial role in shaping adoption rates.

‍

For industry players, both domestic and international, understanding these nuances is invaluable. For individuals and local authorities, tracking crypto ownership trends is key to making informed decisions.

‍

To put our hypothesis to the test, we expanded our survey in 2024 to include Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. In 2025, we’re taking it a step further by adding Iceland to the analysis.

‍

What’s Changed Over the Past Year?

In our 2024 survey, we found that 1.5 million Nordic residents owned cryptocurrency, with adoption rates in Finland, Sweden, and Denmark ranging between 6.5% and 7%—well behind Norway’s impressive 9.2%.

‍

But has the tide turned in the past year?

From March 24 to March 28, we’ll unveil key adoption figures for each country, leading up to a comprehensive Nordic comparison on Friday, March 28.
