India Dominates the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index in 2025
India's Remarkable Growth in Crypto Adoption
India has emerged as the leading country in cryptocurrency adoption for 2025, according to the sixth annual Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index. The United States follows closely in second place. The ranking reflects the growing interest in digital assets and blockchain technology in both countries.
APAC Leads Crypto Growth
The report highlights that the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has become the fastest-growing market for crypto. In the year ending June 2025, total crypto transaction volume in APAC rose sharply from $1.4 trillion to $2.36 trillion. Countries like India, Vietnam, and Pakistan played a major role in this surge.
India's Rise in Web3 and Blockchain
Sumit Gupta, Co-Founder of CoinDCX, stated, “It is truly remarkable to see India secure the top spot in the Global Crypto Adoption Index for the third year in a row. Our young population has consistently embraced innovations, from the Internet to blockchain.” Today, India has over 1,200 Web3 startups and has attracted more than $3 billion in funding.
Looking Ahead
The Chainalysis report indicates a broad shift in crypto activity toward the Global South, where adoption is driven by real-world utility. India's leading position reflects not only technological capability but also growing consumer and institutional interest in digital assets.
