Europe’s Largest Crypto Market Counts Over $1Trillion in Transactions

According to recent reports, Europe has become the world’s largest crypto market for DeFi adoption driving investments. European countries received over $1T worth of cryptocurrency over the last year.

This figure represents about 25% of global cryptocurrency activity. Chainalysis released this report on Tuesday, as UK and Germany termed as the countries leading the adoption.

According to the report, the CNWE region accounts for almost 30% of the global crypto movement between July 2020 and June 2021. The region saw a significant uptrend in transaction volume in decentralized finance and across all crypto sub-categories.

Growing Institutional Investment

Europe’s new fame at the top spot is the result of tremendous growth starting in July 2020. Last year it ranked second. The region has now become a breeding ground for institutional investing. Transaction volumes rocketed in May. Then, the market spiked during a sharp price correction that shaved 50% from Bitcoin’s price.

Transaction values in institutional investing have grown by $46 billion in June 2021. That’s a significant increase in comparison with just $1.4 billion in July 2020. The relative decline in activity in Eastern Asia has also contributed to Europe’s growth. The United Kingdom is the leading country among the most significant crypto economies in the European region. Moreover, Britain has $170 billion worth of transactions. The figure is almost half of the value in transactions via DeFi protocols.

According to Chainalysis’ senior content marketing manager Henry Updegrave, The UK’s growth comes mainly through growing institutional investment. The sizable transfers are the ones causing most of its transaction volume.
