Retail crypto TXs have doubled on regulatory clarity: TRM Labs
Global retail crypto transactions surged 125% in 2025, driven by increasing regulatory clarity worldwide, according to TRM Labs.Summary
TRM Labs' Crypto Adoption and Stablecoin Usage Report indicates that global retail crypto transactions increased by over 125% between January and September 2025, mirroring growth from 2024. This surge is largely attributed to improving regulatory clarity, which offers peace of mind and encourages new participants, particularly in the US where legislative efforts like the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act are advancing. Activity is focused on practical uses like payments and remittances. Conversely, the report notes that in some jurisdictions, like Pakistan, adoption is soaring due to supportive policy moves, while in others like Bangladesh and several North African nations where crypto is banned or restricted, grassroots demand for alternative financial tools drives adoption despite formal limitations. TRM Labs concludes that crypto is moving into the financial mainstream, a trend underscored by the rise of stablecoins, and notes that blanket bans often prove ineffective.
