Global interest in cryptocurrencies continues to surge, with many investors planning to increase their holdings despite ongoing economic challenges. Bitget, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has revealed in its latest Q3 2025 report that 66% of respondents intend to boost their crypto investments. Emerging markets such as Nigeria, China, and India are at the forefront of this growth, reflecting a shift in the global crypto landscape.
Growing Adoption in Emerging Markets
Bitget’s Q3 2025 Crypto Market Confidence and BTC Investment Trend Report reveals a clear trend: emerging markets are leading the way in crypto adoption. A large portion of respondents from Nigeria (84%), China (73%), and India (72%) expressed their intention to increase their crypto investments. These countries view cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation and a potential safe haven for their assets.
In these regions, there is a strong belief that digital currencies can offer financial stability, especially in the face of economic uncertainty. The rise in adoption in these areas signals that cryptocurrencies are becoming an integral part of investment strategies in developing economies.
Cautious Sentiment in Developed Markets
While emerging markets are showing strong enthusiasm, developed regions are adopting a more cautious approach. Countries like Germany, France, and Japan reported lower levels of confidence in increasing crypto allocations. These markets have a more measured stance, likely due to concerns about regulatory frameworks, market volatility, and broader economic conditions.
The report also noted that South Korea experienced a notable decrease in investor appetite, with a significant portion of respondents planning to reduce their crypto holdings. This shift in sentiment highlights the differing perspectives on digital assets between developed and developing regions.
Bitcoin and Altcoins Remain Key Focus
According to the Bitget report, Bitcoin remains the most popular investment choice among global crypto investors. Nearly half of the respondents (50%) expect the next Bitcoin bull run to push the price between USD 150,000 and USD 200,000. Long-term investors, in particular, are optimistic about Bitcoin’s future, with many predicting even higher valuations.
Ethereum and Solana also continue to be strong contenders in the market, with 67% and 55% of respondents, respectively, planning to invest in these assets. Despite the dominance of Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, including platform tokens and Layer 2 solutions, are gaining traction, especially in specific regions.
Bitget’s Position in the Market
Bitget’s approach to the growing demand for cryptocurrencies is reflected in its transition into a Universal Exchange (UEX). The company aims to integrate centralized and decentralized finance solutions, providing users with a comprehensive platform for trading, asset management, and payments. This hybrid approach is designed to meet the needs of both new and experienced investors.
Vugar Usi Zade, Chief Operating Officer at Bitget, emphasized that the report demonstrates how crypto confidence has become a global movement. “The appetite from emerging markets shows us where the future will be built,” Zade stated, noting the importance of regions like Nigeria, China, and India in shaping the future of the crypto space.
In addition to expanding its offerings, Bitget is also committed to educating the next generation of blockchain users. Through initiatives like Blockchain4Youth and partnerships with organizations like UNICEF, Bitget aims to teach blockchain technology to over 1 million people by 2027.
The findings from Bitget’s Q3 report reflect a growing global interest in cryptocurrencies, particularly from emerging markets, as investors continue to see digital assets as a promising avenue for future growth.
