India Leads 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index as APAC Dominates Growth

India has claimed the top spot in Chainalysis' 2025 Global crypto Adoption Index, outpacing the United States and Pakistan in overall adoption metrics. The Asia Pacific region accounted for 69% of global crypto growth, with transaction volumes surging from $1.4 trillion to $2.36 trillion year-over-year.

Latin America followed with 63% growth, while Sub-Saharan Africa and North America posted 52% and 49% increases respectively. Europe's adoption grew 42%, demonstrating crypto's accelerating mainstream penetration across diverse economies.

The report highlights stablecoins as a key growth driver, with proposed US legislation like the GENIUS Act generating investor interest despite not yet being enacted. The EU's MiCA framework has similarly facilitated stablecoin adoption through regulatory clarity.
