Vietnam has the highest level of cryptocurrency adoption, with China and Nigeria engaging in cryptocurrency-based trade due to foreign exchange policies.
In Venezuela and Brazil, legacy financial systems' costs and bureaucracy drive people to experiment with and switch between different cryptocurrencies.
The scarcity of dollars and restrictions placed on the withdrawal of the local currency is forcing businesses to seek alternatives in some African countries. Accessing foreign currencies mostly the dollar from the central bank could take up to six months due to bureaucratic processes making businesses lose viable opportunities. Inflation has led many people to seek other avenues to keep their savings against the incessant devaluation of the local currency. No matter how hard the government tries to dissuade its citizens from dealing with Bitcoin, the currency is getting more popular because it is far better than fiat.
