Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis has published its 2022 Cryptocurrency Adoption Index. Vietnam, the Philippines, India and China are among the countries with the highest crypto adoption. While overall adoption is slowing worldwide in bear markets, it “remains above pre-bull market levels,” the firm said.
Chainalysis published an excerpt of its upcoming report titled “2022 Geography of Cryptocurrency” on Wednesday. It highlights the company’s 2022 Global Crypto Adoption Index, which ranked all countries based on their adoption of different types of cryptocurrency services, the blockchain data firm explained.
According to the index, Vietnam tops the list overall, followed by the Philippines, Ukraine, India, USA, Pakistan, Brazil, Thailand, Russia and China.
Detailed chain analysis:
Overall adoption declines worldwide in the bear market, but remains above pre-bull market levels.
Moreover, the blockchain research firm noted that “emerging markets dominate the global crypto adoption index.”
In addition, the firm explained that China finally entered the top 10 of its global cryptocurrency adoption index this year after coming in 13th last year.
“Our sub-indices show that China is particularly strong in the use of centralized services, placing second overall for purchasing power-adjusted transaction volume at both the aggregate and detail levels,” Chainalysis described.
“This is particularly interesting given the Chinese government’s crackdown on cryptocurrency activity, which includes a ban on all cryptocurrency trading announced in September 2021,” the blockchain research firm said, elaborating:
Our data suggests that the ban has either been ineffective or loosely enforced.
