Chainalysis detailed: Overall adoption slows worldwide in bear market, but remains above pre-bull market levels.

Moreover, the blockchain analytics firm noted that “Emerging markets dominate the global crypto adoption index.”

In addition, the firm explained that China finally reentered the top 10 of its global cryptocurrency adoption index this year after placing 13th last year.

“Our sub-indexes show that China is especially strong in usage of centralized services, placing second overall for purchasing power-adjusted transaction volume at both the overall and retail levels,” Chainalysis described.

“This is especially interesting given the Chinese government’s crackdown on cryptocurrency activity, which includes a ban on all cryptocurrency trading announced in September 2021,” the blockchain analytics firm said, elaborating: Our data suggests that the ban has either been ineffective or loosely enforced.
