Singapore and UAE Lead Global Crypto Adoption Surge

Singapore and the United Arab Emirates have cemented their positions as the world's most crypto-engaged nations, with ownership rates soaring past 24% of their respective populations. ApeX Protocol's latest research reveals Singapore's perfect score in adoption metrics, while the UAE demonstrates the fastest growth trajectory since 2019.

Singapore's cryptocurrency ownership more than doubled from 11% to 24.4% within a year, accompanied by unprecedented search activity—2,000 crypto-related queries per 100,000 residents. The UAE surpasses even this with 25.3% penetration, building on a 210% adoption increase since 2019. Both nations now set the benchmark for digital asset integration into mainstream finance.

North American markets show contrasting strengths—the US claims third position through infrastructure dominance with over 30,000 crypto ATMs, while Canada's 225% adoption growth since 2019 reflects accelerating retail participation. These developments signal a structural shift in global capital flows toward digital asset ecosystems.
