Crypto Wallet Market Share Statistics 2026: Users and Security Data

Trust Wallet crossed 220 million users in 2025 and says it is the #1 self-custody wallet, with up to 35% market share. Ledger, the hardware wallet maker, states on an undated company page that it secures 20% of the world’s total crypto value. Providers report different measures, so the crypto wallet market share statistics below set each provider’s own disclosures against global ownership and theft data.

That ownership base keeps growing. Global cryptocurrency owners increased by 4.5% in the first half of 2026, rising from 741 million in December 2025 to 774 million in June 2026, according to Crypto.com Research. The sections cover provider share, smart accounts, custodial comparisons, wallet theft, and adoption by country.

Key Takeaways

• Ledger counts only 30 million self-custody users among 400 million global crypto users, about 7.5%. Both figures come from an undated Ledger page.
• Wallet compromise and phishing together caused about 61.6% of the Web3 losses CertiK tracked across 344 incidents in H1 2026.
• About 4.3% of the 63.4 million Safe accounts were active in June 2026.
• Coinbase monthly transacting users fell about 12.6% year over year, from 8.7 million to 7.6 million in Q2 2026.

Crypto Wallet Market Share Statistics by Provider

Compiled from 14 sources: 8 company disclosures and filings from wallet providers and Coinbase, 4 reports from blockchain analytics and security firms, and 2 industry research reports.

• Dated publications run from September 2025 to September 2026.
• Only first-party company data and published research qualify; figures are reviewed on a rolling basis and updated when providers publish new editions.
• Trust Wallet reports up to 35% market share among self-custody wallets, a company-stated figure.
• Ledger’s undated company page says it has sold over 8 million hardware signers and that it secures 20% of the world’s total crypto value today.
• Safe smart accounts collectively held $27.24 billion in self-custodied assets at quarter-end in Q2 2026.

Self-Custody Wallet Adoption Gap

• Ledger says that only 30 million of the world’s crypto users practice self-custody, a small minority of its global count.
• On Ledger’s numbers, about 2.5% of crypto users hold their own keys securely.
• a16z’s low-end estimate of 40 million active users is about 5.6% of its 716 million owners.
• The two firms use different methods, yet both point to a small active, self-custodial core inside a much larger holder base.

Key finding: Ledger’s estimate of 400 million global crypto users with only 30 million practicing self-custody leaves most holders on custodial platforms. For wallet providers, the larger prize is converting existing holders rather than finding new ones.

Trends across the wider self-custody wallet statistics page match this split between holders and active self-custody users.

Custodial Wallet Platform Statistics

• Coinbase’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2026 states that for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, Monthly Transacting Users were 7.6 million and 7.9 million.
• The decrease in MTUs was primarily due to a decrease in trading users, influenced by overall market conditions, a pattern that also runs through the longer Coinbase user statistics.
• Coinbase assets on platform fell about 42.1% in a year, to $245.9 billion at June 30, 2026.
• Coinbase’s assets on platform figure excludes assets for which the customer holds full or partial keys, so it counts custodial balances only.

Safe Smart Account Wallet Statistics

• The Safe Ecosystem Foundation’s Q2 2026 quarterly report shows that total Safe accounts reached 63.4 million, up 20% year over year.
• April was the busiest month in Safe’s history, with 55.4 million transactions.
• Q2 transfer volume reached $39.3 billion, up 8% year over year.
• The Safe project generated $1.98 million in revenue overall in Q2, up 42% year over year.
• Monthly active Safe accounts reached 2.73 million in June 2026, a small slice of the account base.

Source: Safe Ecosystem Foundation, Q2 2026 Quarterly Report (July 2026)

By the numbers: Safe reported 63.4 million total accounts, up 20% year over year, with nearly 130 million transactions processed in Q2. Only about 4.3% of those accounts were active in June, so the gap between the two figures reflects accounts created versus accounts in use.

Safenet Transaction Checks by Chain

• Safe’s Safenet Beta security network recorded 455,646 transaction checks at the June 30 close.
• Ethereum carried 63% of those checks, with Arbitrum at 31%.
• Q2 recorded more reported crypto security incidents than any previous quarter: 83 incidents and an estimated $755 million stolen, per the Safe report.

Exodus Wallet User Statistics

• Exodus had 1.3 million QFUs at the end of Q2 2026, down 7.1% from 1.4 million as of Q1 2026.
• 1.1 million active cards processed transactions during Q2 2026 at Monavate, the card business Exodus acquired.
• The Q2 2026 results include financial contributions from the Acquired Entities beginning on May 1, 2026.
• Earlier quarterly readings in our Exodus wallet statistics give the longer user trend behind these two figures.

Exodus Revenue and Expenses

• Exodus posted Q2 2026 revenue of $26.2 million, against $25.8 million in Q2 2025.
• General and administrative expenses rose to $44.7 million from $18.8 million, up 138%.
• G&A spending was about 1.7 times quarterly revenue.
• For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net loss was $18.6 million, while the same period last year was income of $37.7 million.

Personal Wallet Theft Statistics

• Chainalysis tracked over $3.4 billion in theft from January through early December 2025.
• Personal wallet compromises now account for 20% of all value stolen in 2025, based on Chainalysis’s lower-bound estimates; the share would have been 37% if it weren’t for the outsized impact of the Bybit attack.
• Total theft incidents surged to 158,000 in 2025, nearly triple the 54,000 recorded in 2022.
• That works out to about $4,500 stolen per incident in 2025.

Why it matters: Chainalysis found the total USD value stolen from individual victims actually declined from 2024’s peak of $1.5 billion to $713 million in 2025. This suggests that attackers are targeting more users, but stealing smaller amounts per victim, which shifts risk onto ordinary wallet holders.

When measuring crime rates per 100,000 wallets in 2025, Ethereum and Tron show the highest rates of theft, while Base and Solana show lower victimization rates despite significant user bases. Our cryptocurrency fraud statistics cover the exchange-side losses behind the Bybit outlier.

Wallet Drainer Phishing Losses by Year

• Scam Sniffer measured $83.85 million across 106,106 victims, down 83% and 68% respectively from 2024.
• Largest single theft: $6.5 million via Permit signature (September).
• Average loss per victim was about $790 in 2025.
• Coverage: Wallet drainer attacks via phishing websites only; excludes direct hacks, exchange compromises, smart contract exploits, and other theft vectors.

Incident counts and drainer tactics are tracked in more depth on our phishing and wallet drainer incidents page.

Wallet Drainer Phishing Losses by Month in 2025

• Monthly drainer losses peaked at $12.17 million in August, with 15,230 victims.
• The lowest month was December, at $2.04 million.
• Q3 had $31.04 million in losses and 39,886 victims, the busiest quarter of the year.

Wallet Compromise and Phishing Losses in H1 2026

• CertiK counted a total of $1,315,676,432 lost across 344 incidents in the first half of 2026.
• Wallet compromise was the most costly attack vector in H1 2026, with $444,531,691 stolen across 33 incidents.
• Phishing was the second most costly, with $366,312,027 stolen across 63 incidents.
• Each wallet compromise averaged about $13.5 million in losses.
• Code vulnerability recorded 204 incidents, the highest incident count of any single vector.

Worth noting: CertiK reports phishing incident volume dropped from 132 in H1 2025 (a 52.3% decrease), while losses declined by only 10.8%. Losses fell far less than incident counts, so the average loss per phishing incident rose.

Crypto Adoption by Country

• India ranks first in Chainalysis’s 2025 Global Adoption Index, followed by the United States.
• Mobile wallet usage is growing fastest in emerging markets like Argentina, Colombia, India, and Nigeria, per a16z crypto.

How many people use self-custody crypto wallets?

Ledger says on an undated company page that only 30 million of 400 million global crypto users practice self-custody. The figure is a company estimate, and other measures run higher: Trust Wallet alone crossed over 220 million users in 2025, though a total user count is not the same as an active-user count.

Activity-based counts are smaller. Safe reported 2.73 million monthly active accounts in June 2026, and Exodus reported 1.4 million MAUs at the end of Q2 2026. Our Ledger company statistics track the hardware side of that base.

Conclusion

Trust Wallet’s over 220 million users and its claim to up to 35% market share set the scale for software wallets, while Ledger says it secures 20% of the world’s total crypto value, a figure from an undated company page. The data does not support one clean market share ranking: providers report users, devices, accounts, and assets, and none of those figures is audited against the others.

Security is the other half of the picture. With 158,000 personal wallet compromise incidents in 2025 and wallet compromise leading CertiK’s H1 2026 loss table, the next shift in wallet share is likely to follow security features as much as user growth.
