A recent report by ApeX Protocol has named Singapore and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the most crypto-obsessed countries in the world. The report analyzed various factors including population ownership, internet search trends, and overall crypto interest to rank countries on their enthusiasm for digital currencies.

Singapore scored a perfect 100 in the study, with 24.4% of its population reportedly owning cryptocurrency. The UAE followed closely with a score of 99.7 and a slightly higher ownership rate of 25.3%. These figures reflect a growing mainstream adoption and public interest in crypto across both nations.

Why Singapore and UAE Are Leading the Crypto Revolution

Both Singapore and the UAE have created environments that are extremely favorable for cryptocurrency innovation and adoption. Singapore has long been recognized for its clear regulatory frameworks, strong fintech ecosystem, and government openness to blockchain technology.

On the other hand, the UAE—especially Dubai—has rapidly positioned itself as a global crypto hub by launching supportive regulations, attracting international exchanges, and hosting major blockchain events. With the UAE also being home to a large population of digitally savvy expatriates, the enthusiasm for crypto continues to grow.

The report by ApeX Protocol used a combination of search volume data and adoption rates to come to its conclusions. This method not only highlights where people are investing their money but also shows where people are seeking information and learning about crypto—another strong signal of genuine interest.

Global Interest in Crypto is Rising

While Singapore and the UAE top the list, other countries are not far behind. Nations like Turkey, South Korea, and the United States also scored high in the rankings, showing that cryptocurrency adoption is a truly global phenomenon.

As regulatory clarity improves and more real‑world applications emerge, these crypto‑obsessed countries are likely to serve as models for others looking to join the digital asset movement.
