One of the main exchanges of cryptocurrency in the world Mexc has published the results of a user survey for the first and second quarters of 2025, reflecting the dynamics of the global adoption of cryptocurrency. According to the survey, the adoption of cryptocurrencies is influenced by economic challenges, cultural factors and market cycles, revealing striking differences between regions.
In the context of continuous inflationary pressure and weakening national currencies, KriptoValyuta is increasingly perceived as a “safe refuge”. The share of users citing cryptocurrencies as a coverage against inflation increased from 29% to 46% in T2. In East Asia, this figure increased from 23% to 52%, and in the Middle East, it almost doubled from 27% to 45%, which highlights the role of macroeconomic instability in accelerating the adoption of digital assets.
Main conclusions:
- The share of users using cryptocurrency as a coverage against inflation increased from 29% to T1 to 46% in T2, led by East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
- Latin America stimulates the adoption “community focused”: the property of Memcoin increased to 34%, and 63% of new users cited passive income as a reason to enter the market.
- South Asia is leading in commercial activity: cash trading increased to 52%, 53% of users citing financial independence as the main reason.
- Public blockchain tokens remain the backbone of wallets (65% + worldwide).
- Reallocation of capital: The share of large portfolios ($ 20,000 +) in ASA in AS went from 39% to 33%, while medium -sized positions increased.
Regional differences
Latin America has become a cultural center for cryptocurrency. Memcoin ownership increased from 27% to 34%, the highest growth rate in the world. 63% of new users have cited “passive income” as the main motivation. The market remains focused on retail investors, yields and community tokens playing a key role.
South Asia is a global commercial power. Trading to the point The penetration rate of the region increased from 45% to 52%, above the global average, and 53% of users are aimed at financial independence. With a young mobile population and limited access to traditional finance, the region becomes the most dynamic retail market.
South Asia also surpasses the other regions of long -term commerce (46%), while Europe shows more moderate adoption, remaining closer to global averages.
Portfolios and market behavior
Public blockchain tokens remain the backbone of cryptographic wallets, with more than 65% of users holding them worldwide. Confidence is the highest in Latin America (74%) and Southeast Asia (70%), where investors consider block infrastructure as a long-term value.
Stablecoins remain stable (~ 50% worldwide), reflecting a balance between risk mitigation and performance search. Understanding shows mixed performance: South Asia (46%) and Southeast Asia (38%) surpass the world average (29%), while Latin America fell to 19%, adopting lower risk strategies.
Meanwhile, the distribution of capital is changing: the share of large portfolios ($ 20 +) in ASI of the AS increased from 39% to 33% (due to profits and regulatory pressure). At the same time, the share of average portfolios ($ 5 to $ 20), signaling a wider and more uniform participation.
Forecasts for the 3rd quarter of 2025
The survey results indicate several key trends shaped by the economy and culture:
- Cryptocurrency is increasingly used as an inflation cover. In the midst of world macro-installation, weak currencies and inflation in East Asia and the Middle East, capital preservation becomes the main motivation. If the pressure persists, “protection against wealth” could become the main reason for entering all regions.
- Go from speculation to structured trading. At the end of the stages of a bull market, the risk of appetite changes. Term trading and margins, already popular in South Asia (46%) and Southeast Asia (38%), will increase, especially during increased volatility periods.
- Acceleration of portfolio diversification. The interest of retail for mechanics and trends such as ia tokens will feed the short -term capital entries, but these categories remain volatile. Public blockchains and platform projects will remain at the heart of portfolios.
- Polarization by capital levels. Large portfolios ($ 20 +) decrease in regions with strict regulations (especially in East Asia), while medium -sized wallets develop in the world. This indicates a more uniform distribution of funds and strengthening the role of cryptocurrencies as an accessible financial instrument.
The adoption of the cryptocurrency evolves differently in different parts of the world, and there is no unique approach, said the director of the exploitation of Mexc, Tracy Jin.
From the protection of inflation in East Asia to community growth in Latin America, these regional differences highlight the importance of localized solutions.
