The report reveals that 50.8% of users are between the ages of 25 and 34, while nearly 80% fall within the 25–44 age group, underscoring that young working professionals continue to drive crypto adoption in India. Additionally, over 82% of verified users come from non-metro cities, reflecting the growing acceptance of digital assets across the country.
