The ApeX study measured engagement across four indicators: ownership rate, adoption growth, search activity, and ATM availability. Additional top-10 markets include Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Argentina, and Indonesia.
"Crypto is no longer on the fringe," an ApeX Protocol spokesperson told. "It's becoming part of how countries define their financial future... not just as investment, but as a reflection of how people engage with technology, money, and trust in the digital age." Infrastructure development and regulatory clarity continue to drive global adoption momentum.
