The UAE has been named the world’s most crypto-obsessed country in 2025 with the country witnessing an exceptional 210% growth in crypto adoption, reinforcing its status as a premier hub for blockchain innovation and investment.
The ranking was carried out by Atmos and assessed cryptocurrency adoption, interest, and accessibility across key global markets.
With the highest cryptocurrency ownership rate globally (25.3% of its population), the UAE continues to lead in digital asset integration. Unlike other top-ranking nations, the UAE’s dominance comes despite minimal Bitcoin ATM infrastructure. Instead, its crypto boom is driven by government-backed initiatives, progressive regulations, and strong institutional interest.
