🌏 Asia leads global Crypto growth
Cryptocurrency is witnessing a shift in focus. According to Chainalysis, by 2025, transaction volumes in APAC will increase by +69% year-on-year, from $1.4 trillion to $2.36 trillion – becoming the largest growth driver globally. Meanwhile, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing moderate growth, while Europe and MENA are declining.
On-chain data from CryptoQuant supports this trend. The Korean Premium index remains consistently positive, indicating that BTC in South Korea is trading higher than the global average. This is evidence of strong retail demand and speculative sentiment in Asian markets.
Additionally, the trading reserve ratio (U.S. vs. international) also leans towards foreign exchanges like Binance and OKX, while Coinbase is gradually losing its advantage. Liquidity is increasingly shifting towards the East.
In summary, the United States remains a center for institutional credibility, but growth, capital flows, and innovation are booming in APAC. The next super cycle will likely be shaped more by Seoul, Singapore, and emerging markets in Asia.
