“Analysis firm Chainalysis has disclosed its 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index part of a more detailed report to be released in September, it claims Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are seen high levels of adoption. The Index follows a methodology that digs deeper, beyond metrics such as transaction volumes, to determine those territories embracing the digital crypto economy.

Therefore, Chainalysis claims that its results on Bitcoin and crypto adoption include those countries that have professionals and institutions driving it, but also those where “ordinary people” rely on them. Thus, the Index attempts to measure real use cases, and not just “trading and speculation”.

Chainalysis studied data from 154 countries and measures their Bitcoin and crypto adoption by three metrics: on-chain cryptocurrency value received and transferred, measuring crypto activity. In addition to peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange trade volume, measuring activity especially on emerging markets.
