Blockchain.com Wallet Users

This chart tracks the cumulative number of wallets created at Blockchain.com (formerly Blockchain.info) — one company's product, not the Bitcoin network's user count. The wallet is non-custodial (the company cannot access user funds), launched in 2011, and ranks among the industry's longest-running wallet services. That longevity and methodological continuity are precisely why this curve is so widely cited as a proxy for retail adoption.

The verifiable milestones: roughly 100,000 users in early 2013, past 1.5 million by spring 2014, about 63 million by end-2020, over 90 million by early 2024 — and per this chart's current data, cumulative wallets have crossed the 100 million mark. Note the accounting: cumulative signups only ever rise. This measures how many people have ever opened the door, not how many still use the room.

BTC price rides the right axis (log). The historical pattern: acceleration in wallet creation coincides tightly with bull markets — price surges pull newcomers in and the curve steepens; in bears the curve never falls but visibly flattens. So ignore the level and read the slope: it is the tempo gauge of retail onboarding. It complements on-chain activity metrics — signups measure entering, active addresses measure actually using.

Four. It is a single-vendor sample whose market share has itself shifted — early dominance gave way to a crowded wallet market, so later deceleration partly reflects competition, not cooling adoption. One person can open many wallets, and bot signups cannot be excluded. Created is not active — a cumulative count structurally overstates living users. And a large share of bitcoin holders never touch an on-chain wallet at all (coins sit on exchanges or in ETFs), invisible to this curve. A trend reference, not a census.
