Crypto News: India and US Maintain Top Positions in Global Crypto Adoption

India and the US lead global crypto adoption in 2025 as stablecoin use hits $4T and retail transactions surge 125%, says TRM Labs.

India and the United States have continued to lead global cryptocurrency adoption in 2025, according to TRM Labs’ latest report.

The 2025 Crypto Adoption and Stablecoin Usage Report shows that both countries recorded high transaction volumes, while South Asia as a region posted the fastest growth worldwide during the first seven months of the year.

India Leads Global Rankings as South Asia Grows Rapidly

India maintained its position as the world’s top country for crypto adoption for the third straight year, the report said. Between January and July 2025, India and neighboring South Asian countries saw an 80% rise in adoption compared to the same period in 2024.

South Asia reached an estimated $300 billion in crypto transaction volume during the first seven months of 2025. Pakistan and the Philippines also ranked among the top adopters globally, along with Brazil, showing broad-based regional growth.

TRM Labs noted that both retail users and businesses across South Asia are driving adoption. This is occurring in regulated environments as well as in countries where restrictions remain in place.

US Market Sees Transaction Volume Exceed $1 Trillion

The United States recorded strong growth in digital asset activity, with total crypto transaction volume rising by 50% year-over-year. From January through July 2025, U.S. transaction volume surpassed $1 trillion, maintaining its position as the largest crypto market by volume.

TRM attributed this expansion to recent regulatory developments, including the passage of the GENIUS Act and the White House’s 180-Day Digital Assets Report. These policies contributed to increased clarity and encouraged both institutional and retail participation.

Retail activity saw a notable increase in the U.S., supporting a wider trend of consumer-led engagement in digital finance, according to the report.

Stablecoins Play Central Role in Global Crypto Adoption

Stablecoins accounted for about 30% of all crypto transaction volume, TRM Labs found. By August 2025, global stablecoin transactions reached $4 trillion, up 83% from the previous year.

Tether and Circle remained the dominant issuers, making up around 93% of the total stablecoin market capitalization. Stablecoins were especially active in cross-border payments, remittances, and value storage during times of economic uncertainty.

TRM Labs said, “A key trend underscoring this shift is the rise of stablecoins.” The report also noted that stablecoin use expanded in regions with both regulatory support and market limitations.

Retail crypto transactions worldwide increased by more than 125% from January to September 2025, driven by growing access and evolving user demand.
