Slovenia has the highest concentration of wealth in cryptocurrencies in the world

With a per capita value of $240,000, Slovenia is the country with the highest concentration of wealth in cryptocurrencies in the world. In second place is Cyprus ($174.97 thousand), followed by Hong Kong ($97.53 thousand) and South Korea ($94.83 thousand). This is according to the data from the Crypto Wealth Concentration Index by Multipolitan, a pioneering platform in global migration, which recently released the Crypto Friendly Cities Index 2025 study. In the report, the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, also tops the list as the most crypto-friendly city in the world.

To reach an in-depth analysis, the indicator calculation took into account the ownership rates of crypto assets and trading volume (adjusted by the Gini coefficient of inequality). ‘The Index goes beyond simple data, it is a strategic tool that guides decisions on reallocation, business growth, and asset management. Knowing where crypto wealth is concentrated today will define tomorrow’s global financial landscape. The big question now is no longer about who is adopting cryptocurrencies, but about who will hold the keys to that wealth in the future,’ highlights Dan Marconi, Head of Partnerships at Multipolitan.

He explains that wealth in cryptocurrencies no longer belongs exclusively to traditional financial centers like New York, London, or Singapore. It is borderless, fluid, and finds new homes where innovation and regulatory clarity converge. ‘Cities and nations that understand this dynamic will be the protagonists of the next financial era. The financial capital of the future will be the one that actively adopts cryptocurrencies,’ explains Marconi.

In England, for example, it does not appear in the ranking of 20 countries. In addition, only three nations from the American continent are present: Canada in the ninth position, with US$ 57.33 thousand; Chile in 14th, with a concentration of US$ 33.71 thousand; and the United States in 17th, with US$ 23.27 thousand in cryptocurrency trading volume per owner.

“Latin America has long faced an outdated financial infrastructure, hindering economic progress and limiting financial inclusion. Key challenges include high friction in cross-border payments, high remittance fees, low financial inclusion, and persistent exchange rate volatility. Millions of people still lack access to banking services, and small businesses struggle to obtain credit, in addition to the inflation issue,” Marconi lists.

Another noteworthy data point is the positioning of Ukraine, at war with Russia since early 2022. In the Crypto Wealth Concentration Index, the country ranks 7th, with a value of US$ 74,200 per person. “The high volume is related to the conflict itself. Cryptocurrencies have become an agile means to transfer and store resources, both for civilians and for international donations. Ukraine has received hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto donations for humanitarian and military support,” he explains.
