The Middle East and North Africa is the most growing region in the crypto market according to the latest research
The cryptocurrency sector continues to grow continuously across the globe, with the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has emerged over the past year, as it recorded the highest growth in the volume of cryptocurrency transactions year on year compared to all transactions in other regions.

As the reports confirmed, the Middle East and North Africa region recorded an increase in the volume of cryptocurrency transactions by 48% between June 2021 and June 2022, the largest increase in the world, according to the new Crypto Geography 2022 report published by crypto analytics platform Chainalysis on October 20. 

The Middle East and North African countries are at the forefront

In second place comes Latin America with year-over-year crypto transaction volume growth of 40%, followed by North America with an increase of 36% and Central and South Asia with 35%. East Asia recorded the slowest growth at just 4%.

According to the report, the reason for the growth of the MENA region can be attributed to the use cases of three of the region's leading countries in cryptocurrency adoption. The report also highlighted:
“The Middle East and North Africa region is also home to three of the top thirty countries in this year’s index: Turkey (12), Egypt (14), and Morocco (24). Use cases for savings and remittance payments as well as increasingly lax crypto regulations help explain why.”

 Egypt grabs the spotlight in the region

Among the MENA countries, Egypt is the country with the highest growth rate in crypto transactions, with a massive increase of 221.7%, followed by Saudi Arabia at 194.8%, and Lebanon at 120.9%.


As the report confirms:
“Egypt’s current location where increasing cryptocurrency transfers and an increase in inflationary pressures intersect helps explain why it is the fastest growing cryptocurrency market in the MENA region this year. Between July 2021 and June 2022, the volume of transactions in Egypt tripled compared to the previous year.”

On the other hand, Turkey remains “the largest cryptocurrency market in the region, with its citizens receiving $192 billion from July 2021 to June 2022, but experiencing much slower year-on-year growth.”

 The received cipher value is still low

However, the MENA region accounts for only 9% of the value of cryptocurrency received worldwide, far behind the world's largest cryptocurrency economy in Central, Northern, and Western Europe at 21.9%, North America at 19%, and Central and Southern Asia and Oceania. by 15.8%.

The reasons for these poor results can be partly attributed to the crypto crackdown by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, which has seen the arrest of several cryptocurrency traders who violated instructions to stop any cryptocurrency trading and the shutdown of decentralized finance (DeFi) in the country.
