Asia and Africa are emerging as significant hubs for cryptocurrency startups in 2024, surpassing traditional regions like the US and Canada. This shift is driven by a surge in retail and institutional crypto adoption, particularly in Africa, where blockchain funding increased by 429% in 2022. Countries like Seychelles and South Africa are leading this growth. Meanwhile, Asia has seen a rise in active addresses, with platforms like Linea reaching around 800,000 daily active addresses. The global crypto adoption is also on the rise, with monthly active addresses hitting 100 million across major blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. Europe currently leads with 31.4% of new crypto startups, but Asia and Africa are quickly gaining ground. Regulatory progress in South Africa and Mauritius is also contributing to this growth. Additionally, Africa has seen a 116.5% increase in crypto ownership, and over 10 million new addresses have joined Aptos in 2024, with a spike in early June.
