Kraken has released an anonymized, aggregate analysis of millions of wallets on its platform showing Australian clients’ holdings and trading activity from August 2024–2025, comparing local trends with global averages.
The report finds bitcoin held by 36.70% of Australian users (average AU BTC balance $17,409 vs $29,830 globally) and ethereum comprising 33.17% of the average Australian wallet versus 19.08% globally.
The analysis highlights stronger Australian adoption of solana (13.79% AU) and memecoins such as PEPE and BONK, alongside lower local holdings of older altcoins like XRP and cardano, and notes high BTC/USD and SOL/AUD trade volumes in Australia; Kraken says it launched SOL/AUD in June 2024 in response to local demand. “Australia continues to be one of our most dynamic markets,” said Jonathon Miller, Managing Director of Kraken Australia and Rest of World.
