U.S. Climbs to Second Place in Global Crypto Adoption, fueled by ETFs and Regulatory Clarity

Chainalysis’ 2025 Global Adoption Index reveals the U.S. has surged to second place in crypto adoption. This rise is attributed to a surge in spot Bitcoin ETF investments and clearer regulatory frameworks that legitimize cryptocurrency within traditional finance. The report points out the US overtaking its previous fourth-place ranking, largely thanks to increased demand for ETFs and a more favorable regulatory environment.
