Alexander Savenkov India, Nigeria, and Vietnam have claimed the top positions on Chainalysis’ recently released Global Crypto Adoption Index. The United States, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Indonesia follow closely behind in the rankings. Notably, the Central & Southern Asia and Oceania (CSAO) region dominate the upper echelons of this index, with six of the top ten countries hailing from this region, as highlighted by Chainalysis.
Chainalysis, a blockchain data analytics firm, provided a preview of its upcoming 2023 Geography of Cryptocurrency report. This preview featured the fourth annual Global Crypto Adoption Index. The comprehensive report is slated for release next month.
Chainalysis elucidated its methodology, explaining that it combines on-chain data and real-world data to gauge which nations are leading the world in grassroots cryptocurrency adoption. It’s important to note that this assessment was based on data from 154 countries with sufficient information for evaluation. The Global Crypto Adoption Index was meticulously crafted to pinpoint countries where a significant portion of the population is allocating a substantial portion of their wealth to cryptocurrency. Additionally, the index comprises five sub-indexes, each contingent on countries’ utilization of various cryptocurrency services.
The rankings indicate that India secures the top spot, followed by Nigeria, Vietnam, the United States, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
One noteworthy observation made by Chainalysis is the dominance of the Central & Southern Asia and Oceania (CSAO) region at the pinnacle of the index. This region has seen a surge in crypto adoption, with six of its countries among the top ten globally.
While acknowledging a decline in worldwide grassroots crypto adoption, Chainalysis highlighted that many of the leading countries on the Global Crypto Adoption Index belong to the “lower middle income (LMI)” category, where per capita incomes range from $1,086 to $4,255. The firm emphasized that collectively, LMI countries have witnessed the most significant resurgence in grassroots crypto adoption over the past year.
In the 2022 edition of Chainalysis’ Global Crypto Adoption Index, Vietnam held the top spot, followed by the Philippines, Ukraine, India, the United States, Pakistan, and Brazil.
For a comprehensive understanding of the implications of these rankings and their impact on the global crypto landscape, we await the release of Chainalysis’ forthcoming 2023 Geography of Cryptocurrency report.
