Crypto Adoption Surges in Inflation-Hit Regions, MEXC Report Shows

A new MEXC survey highlights crypto’s evolving role in the global economy: 46% of users now see digital assets as an inflation hedge, up from 29% in Q1. The shift is strongest in East Asia (23% to 52%) and the Middle East (27% to 45%), where persistent inflation and currency weakness have fueled adoption.
Regional patterns reveal how culture and economics shape crypto use. Latin America has emerged as crypto’s community hub, with memecoin ownership rising to 34% and 63% of new users entering for passive income. South Asia, by contrast, is the world’s trading powerhouse, as spot trading climbed to 52%, and more than half of users cited financial independence as their main driver.
Portfolio composition also shows global consistency: public chain tokens account for over 65% of holdings, while stablecoin use remains steady at approximately 50%, balancing yield-seeking with risk management. Wealth distribution is shifting too, as high-net-worth wallets in East Asia dropped from 39% to 33%, while mid-tier wallets grew, pointing to a broader, more evenly spread user base.
“Crypto adoption is evolving in different ways and paces across the world, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. From inflation hedges in East Asia to community-led growth in Latin America, these regional dynamics highlight the importance of tailored solutions,” said Tracy Jin, COO at MEXC.
Looking ahead, MEXC expects inflation-hedge adoption to keep rising, futures trading to expand in Asia, and portfolio diversification to accelerate as the market matures.
