How about some renewed interest in Russia? I have no idea how large their influence would be on a global scale, but I do think it's possible that we'll see more adoption there.
Putin recently called for regulations of crypto, but without prohibiting them.

If you look closely at what he said, you might notice that he used the word "Blockchain" and not Bitcoin. This is done on
purpose, because it opens up the possibilities for them to use their own "GovCoin" or even another Alt coin. I also know
Putin had some discussions with Vitalik {Ethereum}, so I would not be surprised if Russia goes for Ehtereum and not
Bitcoin. OP, I think Africa is going to be the next wave.
