  3. Asia Leads in Global Crypto Adoption
A recent CryptoQuant study highlights the rapid growth of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions, as crypto adoption surges worldwide. The report, “2024 Crypto Survey: Exchange Use and Investor Behavior,” reveals key trends shaping the digital asset market over the past year.

Bitcoin Dominates Investor Portfolios

Bitcoin continues to be the most sought-after cryptocurrency, driven by increasing demand from both retail and institutional investors. Following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the U.S. SEC, traditional financial players poured billions into BTC, propelling it to new all-time highs.

As a result, Bitcoin became the top choice for new entrants, solidifying its position as the leading digital asset. Stablecoins also saw strong adoption, serving as a bridge for users entering the crypto space.

Ethereum Layer 2 Solutions See Growing Interest

While Bitcoin remains dominant, Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling solutions experienced increased demand, driven by the rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Other high-interest assets included XRP, Solana, and Ether, reflecting a broader diversification in investor portfolios.

Asia Leads in Global Crypto Adoption

Geographically, Asia recorded the highest adoption rate, with 40% of survey participants coming from the region. Europe and North America followed, accounting for 29% and 10%, respectively. The study attributes this trend to macroeconomic factors and inflation hedging, which have accelerated the use of cryptocurrencies worldwide.
