Singapore is the world’s most ‘crypto obsessed’ country, a new report has revealed, with the United Arab Emirates and the United States rounding up the top three.
The report by ApeX Protocol ranked countries according to growth in adoption over recent years, the share of the population that owns digital assets, internet search activity, and the availability of digital currency ATMs.
Singapore scored a perfect 100, with an ownership rate of 24.4% as of 2024, the second highest globally. It marks remarkable growth from 11% of Singaporeans owning digital assets in 2021.
The Asian country also ranked first for Internet search activity, with over 120,000 searches, or 2,000 searches for every 100,000 residents.
While it topped the latest report, Singapore ranked 15th overall in Chainalysis’ Global Crypto Adoption Index, published in September. Its highest ranking was in DeFi value received at 13th.
Singapore has become one of the global hubs for tokenization, with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) setting the pace with Project Guardian. The tokenization project boasts global giants, including Standard Chartered (NASDAQ: SCBFF), Citi (NASDAQ: C), HSBC (NASDAQ: HSBC), S&P Global (NASDAQ: SPGI), UBS (NASDAQ: UBS), and Moody’s (NASDAQ: MCO), as members.
Singapore is also positioning itself as a leader in the emerging stablecoins sector, and this week, it beat rival Hong Kong in launching the first stablecoin pegged to its Singaporean dollar (SGD). Local stablecoin firm StraitsX, which launched the XSGD stablecoin, says it “enhances Singapore’s appeal as a hub for both global capital markets and Asia’s digital economy.”
UAE tops ownership, US leads in ATMs
At a composite score of 99.7, the UAE ranked second after Singapore. The Middle Eastern country topped the digital asset ownership charts at 25.3%. According to ApeX, ownership has surged 210% since 2019, with clearer regulations and a push by the government to foster adoption credited for the uptake.
The U.S. ranked third overall, scoring 98.5, and led in ATM availability by a significant margin. The country is home to over 30,000 digital asset ATMs, nearly 10 times as many as second-placed Canada, which has 3,700. It accounts for almost 80% of all digital currency ATMs globally.
In the Chainalysis ranking, the U.S. placed second globally, behind only India, and moved up two spots from its 2024 position.

Canada and Turkey rounded up the top five. The former’s strong ATM presence contributed to its ranking, with the latter’s high digital asset ownership of 19.3% placing it in third globally.
Commenting on the report, a spokesperson for ApeX said it proved that “crypto is no longer on the fringe.
“It’s becoming part of how countries define their financeal future, not just as an investment, but as a reflection of how people engage with technology, money, and trust in the digital age.”
DBS: Hong Kong’s ‘harsh’ stablecoin laws limit derivatives trading
Elsewhere, Sebastian Paredes, the CEO of DBS Bank’s (NASDAQ: DBSDY) Hong Kong operations, claims that the city’s strict laws have limited the use of stablecoins in derivatives trading on blockchain platforms.
Speaking at a recent event, Paredes informed attendees that Hong Kong’s stablecoin framework, which took effect on August 1, has imposed stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) standards on stablecoin issuers, thereby restricting their use in certain financial applications.
Paredes joins a host of other leaders who have criticized the Stablecoin Ordinance as too harsh, especially on smaller players. Industry sources have revealed that several interested applicants have withdrawn from the licensing race and are awaiting the outcome to see how major players like Ant Group and JD.com (NASDAQ: JD) fare.
This skepticism was reflected in the license applications, as according to the HKMA, only 36 institutions applied for the stablecoin license in September, less than half the applications in August. While it didn’t reveal the identity of the applicants, it claimed they included banks, tech firms, and payment service providers.
The city expects to issue its first batch of stablecoin licenses in early 2026, revealed Christopher Hui, the Treasury Secretary.
While DBS (NASDAQ: DBSDY) expects the stablecoin regime to deter some companies, the Singaporean bank will continue to build stablecoin infrastructure in Hong Kong, Paredes said.

Pi Network price collapses to $0.26, wiping $18B; community questions project transparency, tokenomics, and long-term survival amid crypto rally.
Pi coin struggles as adoption, exchange listings, and clarity on supply remain uncertain, leaving users frustrated despite market-wide crypto gains.
Bitcoin has climbed above $123,600 and Ethereum is steady above $4,500. XRP also trades close to $2.96. Pi Network, however, has not followed the market’s recovery. The token now trades around $0.26, a sharp fall from its February high of $2.98. The drop has erased more than $18 billion in value in half a year.
The losses have triggered anger among Pi’s community. Some now question whether the project can survive. Crypto commentator Mr. Spock went as far as calling the collapse “basically a rug pull.” Many users have mined Pi for years with little to show, while a small group still believes in a fixed price of $314,159 per coin, a claim most experts reject.
Pi has also faced criticism over its handling of supply and migration. Changes to token release rules have raised fears that the team may be stretching out supply to keep users engaged. Critics argue the project lacks clarity on fundraising, the Pi Foundation’s role, and whether insiders have sold tokens privately. These doubts weigh heavily on the project’s credibility.
Institutional adoption also looks distant. Pi says more than 14 million users have passed KYC, but concerns over data leaks and inflated numbers remain. Without stronger safeguards and transparent figures, exchanges and institutional players are unlikely to commit. Until then, Pi risks falling further behind as other projects grow.
The Pi Network continues to describe itself as a “people’s cryptocurrency.” Yet without exchange listings, improved transparency, and clearer tokenomics, its long-term outlook remains uncertain. For now, Pi trades at the edge of the market, leaving its users to question whether their efforts will ever pay off.
Stay ahead with breaking news, expert analysis, and real-time updates on the latest trends in Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more.
PI’s price is down due to a sharp loss of investor confidence, fueled by concerns over the project’s transparency, token supply management, and lack of major exchange listings.
While Pi calls itself a “people’s crypto,” its legitimacy is questioned due to a lack of transparency, exchange listings, and concerns over its tokenomics and supply management.
Pi is not listed on major exchanges, making it difficult to sell. Any current trading occurs on limited, unofficial platforms with significant liquidity and security risks.

A US federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops from Texas and California to Portland, Oregon.
The decision late on Sunday comes after the same court denied Trump's attempt to deploy Oregon's own National Guard members to Portland.
Portland is the latest Democrat-led city targeted as part of the president's attempt to address what he says is out-of-control crime, amid protests over his administration's immigration enforcement.
Trump has also authorised the deployment of National Guard troops from other states to Chicago in Illinois, to address what he says is out-of-control crime.
The ruling on Sunday from US District Judge Karin Immergut came shortly after the Pentagon confirmed 200 members of the California National Guard had been reassigned to Portland to "support US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal personnel performing official duties".
California and Oregon had sought a temporary restraining order against the deployment.
Judge Immergut, who was appointed by Trump, said there was no evidence that recent protests in the city made the presence of federalised National Guard troops necessary.
During Sunday's emergency hearing, she pressed lawyers from the federal government on how the deployment of troops from other states was not simply a way to circumvent her earlier decision denying the deployment of Oregon's National Guard.
In that decision, she said the use of the military to quell unrest without Oregon's consent risked the sovereignty of that state and others, and inflamed tensions in the city of Portland.
Sunday's ruling will remain in effect until at least 19 October. The White House is yet to respond.
In previous remarks, the Trump administration had said the president was exercising his "lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement".
Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said late on Sunday night that Trump was "ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States".
In a statement, the governor called the proposed deployment "Trump's invasion", and said there was "no reason" to send troops into any state without the "knowledge, consent, or cooperation" of local officials.
He told CNN that the authorisation of troops there would incite protests and accused the administration of creating a "warzone" to rationalise the response.
Pritzker also called on Texas Governor Greg Abbott to "immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to co-ordinate".
In response, Abbott said he "fully authorized" Trump's decision to call up the Texas National Guard "to ensure safety for federal officials".
"You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it," he said in a statement on X.
Like Portland, Chicago has seen protests over increased immigration enforcement. On Saturday, protests became violent, with immigration authorities saying they opened fire on an armed woman after she and others allegedly rammed their cars into law enforcement vehicles.
The woman's condition is unclear, but officials said she drove herself to hospital.
Protests have been ongoing in Portland and other cities over the Trump administration's increased immigration enforcement.
Portland, in particular, has long drawn Trump's ire over its alleged concentration of people his supporters describe as Antifa, short for "anti-fascist". The president recently signed an executive order designating the group, which is a loosely organised movement of far-left activists, as a domestic terrorist organisation.
The Portland deployment came one day after Trump authorised the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago under a similar pretext.
The National Guard is the primary combat reserve of the Army and Air Force. The state-based military force can be called up by either a state governor or the US president. It is often deployed to provide disaster relief after floods and hurricanes but can also support military operations overseas.
Over the summer, Trump directed National Guard troops to be deployed in Washington, DC, and Los Angeles, saying they were needed to quell crime or protests. These were significant decisions, as deployments are typically left to a state's governor.
Trump has sought to use National Guard troops in a number of US cities to crack down on crime and support immigration enforcement – including in Washington, DC, and California.
Over the summer, there were large daily protests in Los Angeles after the city became a target of increase raids.
In September, a federal judge in California ruled Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles was illegal because it violated an act that limits the power of the federal government to use military force for domestic matters.
The administration is appealing that decision.

Over 15.7 million Pi Coins (PI) were withdrawn from OKX in the past 24 hours. This came after the exchange resumed withdrawals following a temporary suspension.
Large outflows from exchanges are typically viewed as a positive sign of investor confidence and long-term holding. However, Pi Coin’s price still dipped during the same period, suggesting cautious market sentiment.
OKX, the first exchange to list PI, recently paused withdrawals—an issue widely highlighted by many Pioneers on X (formerly Twitter). According to user-shared screenshots, the pause was attributed to wallet maintenance aimed at enhancing security.
#OKX does not allow withdrawal of #pi to wallet because the exchange holds the remaining pi and then pushes the price down (so they can sell off. Pioneers should switch to #BitGet exchange. Cheaper fees, more free trading#pinetworkhttps://t.co/rFwvfYwKyI pic.twitter.com/vslSilYloP
It wasn’t just OKX. Other pioneers highlighted that crypto exchange Pionex also implemented a similar suspension, raising further user concerns.
While initially sparking frustration, these halts have also fueled speculation about upcoming technical upgrades or integrations related to Pi Network’s mainnet transition.
“No official reason yet — but history tells us: This often happens before major integrations or upgrades,” a Pioneer noted.
Notably, after OKX reopened withdrawals, a sharp wave of outflows followed. According to PiScan data, more than 15.7 million PI tokens left OKX within 24 hours, bringing the total withdrawn across all platforms to over 17.5 million during the same timeframe.
While the recent withdrawals reduced exchange balances, overall reserves have been trending upward — from 263 million PI in March to 409 million in August, and now over 433 million. This marked a rise of 65% since March.
This steady increase indicates more tokens being held on exchanges, a trend often seen as a sign of growing selling pressure.
Meanwhile, the selling sentiment surrounding PI is evident in its market performance, as even the token exodus failed to impact its price. While many cryptocurrencies have recorded gains this month, PI has dipped 1.4%, moving in the opposite direction of Bitcoin and most altcoins.
Pi Network’s ongoing expansion, including new DeFi tools and token creation features, has also not translated into market gains. According to BeInCrypto Markets data, PI’s price fell 1.03% in the past 24 hours, settling at $0.259.
Adding to the pressure, Pi Coin faces ongoing oversupply concerns. With 138.2 million tokens set to unlock in October alone, the influx could weigh further on the altcoin’s already fragile price performance this month.
