So where does this demand come from?
Is it all institutions, family offices and corporations?
Based on the historical price data and adoption trends, emerging markets are likely to play a crucial role in driving Bitcoin's mainstream adoption and market share growth over the next decade, potentially even overshadowing institutional adoption in developed economies.
Africa
Many African nations suffer from high inflation, capital controls, and underdeveloped financial systems. Bitcoin provides an alternative store of value and payment rail. Countries like Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya are already seeing growing cryptocurrency adoption.
Latin America
Similar economic challenges like inflation and lack of banking access make cryptocurrencies attractive in Latin America. Countries like Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, and Mexico could drive significant Bitcoin adoption as remittances and a savings vehicle.
Southeast Asia
With large unbanked populations and remittance corridors, Southeast Asian nations like Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia represent fertile ground for Bitcoin adoption, especially through mobile payments.
India
Despite recent regulatory hurdles, India's huge population, remittance flows, and tech-savvy youth make it a market with immense potential for Bitcoin and crypto adoption in the long run.
Eastern Europe
Countries in Eastern Europe like Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia have shown rising cryptocurrency usage, driven by factors like economic instability and capital controls.
Middle East
Oil-rich nations like the UAE are positioning themselves as crypto hubs, while economic challenges in places like Iran and Turkey could spur grassroots Bitcoin adoption as a censorship-resistant asset.
Emerging markets plagued by issues like inflation, currency devaluation, capital controls, and lack of financial access are prime candidates for leapfrogging into Bitcoin and crypto adoption over this decade. However, regulatory clarity and easy-to-use services will be key to driving mainstream uptake in these markets.
