Nigeria Not Among 10 Most Cryptocurrency-Obsessed Countries

In the report made available to Business Post, it was disclosed that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the most crypto-obsessed country in 2025, with over a quarter of its population owning at least a digital coin.

It was discovered that the country has exceptional adoption growth at 210 per cent and moderate searches despite having minimal Bitcoin ATM infrastructure.

Following is Singapore with a score of 97.5, with nearly a quarter of its population having cryptocurrency, and has seen a 150 per cent increase in adoption. With 160,000 monthly crypto searches, Singapore maintains its reputation as one of the most engaged markets in the space despite lacking any Bitcoin ATMs.

The United States was third with an ownership rate of 15.5 per cent, though leading in Bitcoin ATMs, housing nearly 30,000 nationwide. It also records the highest number of crypto searches, surpassing 4.2 million monthly, indicating a continued mainstream interest in digital assets.

The fourth place was Canada though it has an adoption growth rate at 225 per cent, with 10.1 per cent of its population now holding cryptocurrency. It hosts the second-largest Bitcoin ATM network globally with 3,561 machines, dramatically fewer than the US but thousands more than any previous country.

Turkey secured the fifth spot with crypto ownership of 19.3 per cent, and a monthly search rate of 802,000. While adoption growth of 135 per cent is slightly lower than other top-ranked countries, Turkey’s increasing reliance on digital assets amid economic uncertainty highlights its strong position in the crypto market.

The sixth was Germany and adoption growth rate at 225 per cent, with over one million crypto-related searches per month, Switzerland ranked seventh, Australia occupied eighth place, Argentina ranked ninth and South Korea occupied the 10th place.

“Cryptocurrency adoption is not just about investment trends. It is reshaping financial systems worldwide. In some regions, it is a hedge against inflation and currency instability, while in others, it is a step toward a more digitized economy.

“What truly drives adoption is not just interest but accessibility. When regulatory clarity, payment integration, and real-world utility align, crypto moves from speculation to a fundamental part of everyday transactions.

“As global financial landscapes shift, the countries embracing this evolution will be the ones setting the standard for the future of digital finance,” the chief executive of Atmos, Mr Nick Cooke, said.
