The Chainalysis 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index highlights the latest trends in global cryptocurrency adoption, focusing on both grassroots (retail) and institutional activity. Key points include:
India leads the index for the third consecutive year, driven by high engagement in retail and decentralized finance (DeFi), as well as institutional usage, especially for remittances and financial inclusion.
The United States rises to second place, fueled by regulatory clarity, institutional demand, and over $4.2 trillion in fiat on-ramping—more than four times the next highest country.
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region remains the global hub for grassroots crypto activity, with Pakistan and Vietnam also ranking highly.
The index now incorporates institutional activity, reflecting the growing mainstream integration of crypto, especially in developed markets.
North America saw a significant growth rate increase (42% to 49%), while Europe, MENA, and Sub-Saharan Africa also experienced rapid expansion.
Methodological updates include the removal of the retail DeFi sub-index and the addition of an institutional activity lens, providing a more comprehensive view of global crypto engagement.
The report underscores that crypto adoption is becoming truly global, spanning both emerging and developed economies.

Emerging markets dominate the Global Crypto Adoption Index. "Our Global Crypto Adoption Index is made up of five sub-indexes, each of which is based on countriesâ?? usage of different types of cryptocurrency services. We rank all 146 countries for which we have sufficient data according to each of those five metrics, take the geometric mean of each countryâ??s ranking in all five, and then normalize that final number on a scale of 0 to 1 to give every country a score that determines the overall rankings. The closer the countryâ??s final score is to 1, the higher the rank."
