APAC Digital Asset Adoption 2025: Stablecoins, Tokenization & Integration
The next phase of growth in Asia-Pacific will be defined not by the potential of technology, but by its seamless integration into daily life. As usability, interoperability, and trust align, digital assets will become an integrated part of the region’s financial architecture, turning innovation into everyday inclusion.
- The Scale of APAC Adoption: Discover how and why Asia's commitment to digital assets results in an adoption rate that exponentially outpaces the global average.
- Awareness vs Action: Awareness of digital assets is nearly at 100%, while usage is not. Discover why a strong majority views regulatory oversight not as a constraint, but as the essential trust-building opportunity ready to unlock widespread adoption and solutions.
- Stablecoins Demand Outpaces Access: High stablecoin adoption persists among users, even though accessibility is commonly described as difficult—a clear signal of massive, underserved latent demand.
- The Invitation to Integration: The "accessibility dividend" is the next growth frontier. With regulation and user excitement rising, APAC signals a clear call to action for innovators to build solutions that will onboard millions of new participants.
CoinDesk's report aligns with what we see on the ground… We will continue to see emerging market economies lead the way in the adoption curve as blockchain-based financial services are a 10x improvement to the status quo.

The APAC Digital Asset Adoption 2025 report validates the true institutional frontier: Access is the new adoption. This is no longer a story of consumer appetite, but of integration by design…The next phase of growth depends entirely on forging that trusted, compliant bridge between digital assets and traditional finance.

The most exciting insight: 63% of non-users in emerging markets say they would participate if access were easier. This represents hundreds of millions of potential spenders waiting for better UX, simpler on-ramps, and trusted interfaces. The real opportunity lies in enabling ways for people to spend digital assets seamlessly within the places they already shop and pay.
