Central bank-owned institution BIS examined data from cryptocurrency exchange applications used in 95 countries and also analyzed on-chain data on the daily distribution of bitcoin holdings obtained from IntoTheBlock. The findings revealed that during the period of August 2015 to December 2022, around 75% of users downloaded a cryptocurrency platform application when the bitcoin price was above $20,000.
According to the report, the median investor who had downloaded the app would have lost $431 by December 2022, which amounts to almost half of their total invested funds of $900 since they began using the app. It is noteworthy that this figure is higher in some emerging market economies such as Brazil, India, Pakistan, Thailand, and Turkey. Additionally, the report stated that if investors continued to invest every month, over four-fifths of users would have experienced losses.
