Asia stands as a significant hub for crypto innovation, users, and trading markets. Through this report, we aim to highlight Asia's diverse cultural and market characteristics.”Dovey Wan, Founder of Primitive Ventures, emphasized the global-local paradox in crypto adoption:

“Over 50% of Americans don’t have passports, 80% of Chinese have never traveled abroad, and even in the EU, only ~40% of citizens have ventured beyond their borders. While crypto is inherently global, humans are naturally local and tribal, making global thinking both uncommon and challenging. As multicycle players with a truly global-minded team, Primitive is committed to bridging these gaps.”Country-Specific Highlights from the ReportChina: Despite regulatory hurdles, crypto adoption thrives in OTC markets and DeFi platforms.
