According to research company Statista, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a leader in the field of digital assets. Thanks to higher institutional acceptance of cryptocurrencies, it has become one of the most widely owned and used virtual currencies in Southeast Asia.
Around 78% of users in the region claim to own Ethereum-based digital assets, making it the most popular blockchain technology in the Asian region.
Regulations in Asian countries have been easing in the past couple of years, opening them to broader adoption. Therefore, emerging as a potential market expansion for Ethereum-based chains and applications.
According to an OECD report, Southeast Asia is highly suitable for a rise in digital asset use. This has paved the way for governments to lay out regulatory frameworks to safeguard retail users. The trend has also slowly provided for regulations around digital assets to help mitigate consumer concerns.
Also, the report highlights possible international cooperation from governments in the region to come close to formulate laws surrounding virtual currencies for a steady and smooth rise in the customer base.
