Middle East and North Africa Crypto Transactions Hit $350 Billion, Saudi Arabia Leads Growth at 154%

Crypto transaction activity across the Middle East and North Africa has reached $350 billion, according to a report published by finance.biggo.com. The figure highlights the scale of digital-asset usage in a region where interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain services and related financial technology has continued to draw attention from consumers, businesses and policymakers.

Saudi Arabia recorded the fastest growth cited in the report, with crypto transactions rising 154%. The reported expansion places Saudi Arabia at the forefront of growth among the markets covered, underscoring its importance within the broader MENA digital-asset landscape.

The $350 billion regional total and Saudi Arabia’s 154% growth rate illustrate the differing pace of crypto adoption and transaction activity across MENA. Cryptocurrency transactions can include transfers involving digital assets and services built around blockchain networks, though the report’s figures indicate that activity in the region is substantial and that Saudi Arabia is a key contributor to its recent growth.

The development is notable because MENA has become an increasingly important area for the global crypto industry, with countries across the region exploring digital-finance infrastructure and regulatory approaches. The reported data adds to evidence that crypto markets are not limited to traditional financial centers and that regional growth can be led by rapidly expanding national markets.
