U.S. most popular cryptocurrency 2021-2023

Cryptocurrencies owned in the U.S. in 2023 were seemingly mainstream, with portfolios often consisting of Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH). To a certain degree, it might not be surprising to the three most-talked about virtual currencies of 2021 top this particular ranking. Differences, however, do show when one compares this list against the ownership of 14 different cryptocurrencies in the United Kingdom. The order of the top owned digital coins are the same - albeit at a lower rate, except for Dogecoin (DOGE) and, interestingly, Ethereum (ETH). Indeed, respondents from Great Britain held relatively more coins - such as Ripple (XRP), Polkadot (DOT) and Cardano (ADA) - that were closely related to Ethereum. U.S. respondents were relatively more interested in Stellar (XLM) or the Basic Attention Token (BAT) than their British counterparts.
