India, US, and Pakistan Lead Global Crypto Adoption in 2025
The 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index by Chainalysis highlights India, the US, and Pakistan as the top three countries driving cryptocurrency adoption. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region remains the epicenter of grassroots crypto activity, with India leading across all subcategories—centralized value, decentralized finance (DeFi) value, and institutional value.
The US surged to second place following regulatory tailwinds and institutional acceptance post the 2024 presidential election. APAC's transaction volume skyrocketed 69% year-over-year, reaching $2.36 trillion, fueled by India and Pakistan's booming on-chain activity.
