21. India ranks #1, United States #2 in global crypto adoption
India tops Chainalysis’s 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index, published September 2, 2025, with the United States ranked #2.
22. Asia-Pacific crypto value received grew 69% year over year
Value received by crypto services in the Asia-Pacific region grew 69% year over year, from $1.4 trillion to $2.36 trillion between July 2024 and June 2025, per Chainalysis’s 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index.
What this means for crypto investors
The market is still Bitcoin-led. With Bitcoin and Ethereum together worth 71.1% of WealthyBud’s tracked 50 and a similar 70.0% combined industry-wide, most crypto value sits in two assets; the top 10 alone hold 92.3%.
Short-term price swings cut both ways. 19 of 50 tracked assets rose over the past 24 hours, and 16 of 48 with a year of history are higher than 12 months ago — the share of assets rising is 38% over a day and 33% over a year, so the two horizons look similar.
Stablecoins are the market’s cash layer. $290.6B sits in the 9 USD-pegged stablecoins WealthyBud tracks, capital parked on-chain rather than in a volatile asset, and it moves in and out of Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins as sentiment shifts.
Adoption keeps broadening geographically. Chainalysis’s index shows India and the U.S. leading global adoption, with Asia-Pacific value received nearly doubling year over year — growth that shows up in on-chain activity well before it shows up in any single coin’s price.
