Netherlands: cryptocurrency wallets used, by type 2018| Statista

This statistic shows the answers to a survey question about which types of wallets are used by consumers in the Netherlands for the storage of cryptocurrencies as of 2018. Approximately 75 percent of the respondents indicated they used an online wallet, for example on an online exchange such as Coinbase. Bitcoin is a so-called cryptocurrency, a digital currency that uses blockchain technology as a means of security. Because of its design, it is difficult to get an insight in the full size of the Bitcoin market in individual countries. Because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies reached the news often in 2017, approximately 60 percent of the households in the Netherlands who invest in cryptocurrencies started doing so in 2017. In the first three quarters of 2017, there were approximately 44,000 transactions in Bitcoin from the Netherlands on a trading platform called BTC Direct. In addition, Belgium and the Netherlands have several Bitcoin ATM installations.
