Kraken has published anonymized aggregate analysis of millions of wallets on its platform, showing holdings and trading activity of Australian customers from 2024 to August 2025, comparing regional trends and global averages.
According to the report, 36.70% of Australian users hold Bitcoin (average BTC balance in Australia is $17,409 vs. $29,830 globally) and Ethereum accounts for 33.17% of average wallets in Australia (19.08% globally).
The analysis highlights increased adoption of meme coins such as Solana (AU13.79%), PEPE and BONK in Australia, while local holdings of older altcoins such as XRP and Cardano are declining, and points to high trading volumes for BTC/USD and SOL/AUD in Australia. Kraken said it launched SOL/AUD in June 2024 in response to local demand. “Australia continues to be one of our most dynamic markets,” said Jonathan Miller, managing director of Kraken Australia and Rest of World.
