According to @HenriArslanian, India is ranked No. 1 in global crypto adoption and roughly two-thirds of Bitcoin (BTC) is owned by individuals, underscoring a retail-driven market structure (source: @HenriArslanian newsletter post on X, Sep 7, 2025). This India ranking aligns with the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index, which placed India first in its 2023 and 2024 editions, reinforcing strong grassroots demand from the region (source: Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index 2023; Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index 2024). For trading, a heavy individual holder base can tighten tradable float and magnify BTC upside when new liquidity arrives; monitor exchange reserves and long-term holder supply as free-float proxies (source: Glassnode 2024 on-chain reports). Asia-session strategies should track BTC and majors’ order-book depth, retail-sized flow, and India-related stablecoin activity to time entries and manage slippage (source: Kaiko Market Structure 2024; Chainalysis Geography of Cryptocurrency 2024).

According to @smtgpt, a high-profile debate underscored that crypto is here to stay, citing over 659M global crypto holders, India’s leadership in grassroots adoption, and a $16T tokenization forecast by 2030, which frames long-term market structure trends for traders (source: @smtgpt X post dated Sep 5, 2025). India ranked #1 in the latest Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index, signaling strong retail participation that historically aligns with higher exchange activity and liquidity in emerging markets (source: Chainalysis 2023 Global Crypto Adoption Index; source: Kaiko 2024 Market Liquidity research). BCG and ADDX project tokenized assets could reach $16T by 2030, a trajectory already reflected in institutional pilots like BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized fund launched on Ethereum in 2024, pointing to growing on-chain settlement and infrastructure demand (source: BCG and ADDX 2022 asset tokenization report; source: BlackRock press release 2024). Large-cap assets typically capture the majority of net inflows during adoption cycles, keeping BTC and ETH as primary liquidity hubs for directional and hedging strategies (source: CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows 2024; source: CoinMarketCap market capitalization data 2024).
