PANews reported on September 22nd that data from Chainalysis and CryptoQuant indicates that the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) has become the core of global crypto market growth. APAC transaction volume is projected to increase 69% year-over-year in 2025, from $1.4 trillion to $2.36 trillion, making it the largest regional driver. Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa follow closely behind, while Europe and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions are expected to shrink.

CryptoQuant data shows that South Korea's premium index remains positive, indicating that Bitcoin prices in South Korea are higher than the global average, reflecting strong retail participation and speculative demand in the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, exchange reserve ratios indicate a shift in capital towards offshore platforms such as Binance and OKX, while the reserve ratios of US platforms such as Coinbase have declined significantly, indicating that institutional and retail liquidity is concentrated in the Asian market.

Overall, the global crypto ecosystem is shifting its focus from the West to the East, and the future crypto super cycle may be driven by Asia-Pacific regions such as Seoul and Singapore.
