Crypto adoption is booming worldwide, with Nigeria leading Africa and Tunisia rising fast—even under an official ban.
The 2025 Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index reveals widening global disparities in cryptocurrency use. While some nations embrace digital assets, others maintain strict bans over concerns like money laundering and instability.
Tunisia, despite prohibiting cryptocurrency since 2018, climbed 28 places to rank 52nd globally and 10th in Africa. The rise is linked to methodological changes that now factor in institutional activity and DeFi usage, though on-ground crypto use remains illegal and confined to peer-to-peer platforms and informal exchanges.
Tunisia ranked 43rd for individual centralized transactions, 53rd for overall centralized activity, 67th for DeFi, and 61st for institutional activity. Across Africa, Nigeria dominates, ranking 6th globally, followed by Ethiopia (12th), Morocco (24th), Kenya (25th), and Egypt (26th). South Africa (28th), Uganda (37th), and Ghana (40th) trail behind.
Globally, India, the United States, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Brazil form the top five, underscoring the rapid mainstreaming of crypto in emerging markets despite uneven regulatory landscapes.
