Türkiye Breaks Record with $200 Billion Crypto Boom. 🇹🇷💥

📌 According to a Chainalysis report, Turkey recorded $200 billion in crypto trading volume between July 2024-June 2025, making it the clear leader in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

🔹Turkey: $200 billion
🔹UAE: $53 billion
🔹Israel: $22 billion
🔹Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco: $30–40 billion
🔹Algeria, Iraq, Tunisia, Armenia, Kuwait: $10–20 billion


👉 Turkey has quadrupled its closest rival, the UAE.


Why Turkey Leads in Crypto

🔹High inflation
🔹Depreciation of the Turkish Lira
🔹Crypto seen both as an investment tool and a safe haven


Global Context

🔹The US remains the leader in trading volume.
🔹Turkey ranks 11th in trading volume and 14th in adoption worldwide.
🔹India and the US continue to hold the top two spots in the global crypto adoption index.


Turkey’s Crypto Landscape

🔹Total volume from early 2021 to mid-2025: $880 billion
🔹Recently, retail investor participation has declined (due to income losses and regulatory pressures).
🔹Altcoin investments surged after 2024, reaching a record $240 million daily volume.
🔹The report warns that the pursuit of high returns through risky assets poses serious risks for small investors.


Turkey is the undisputed leader of the MENA crypto market and ranks within the top 15 globally. However, this success stems less from long-term adoption and more from economic crises, uncertainty, and speculative investments.

🇷🇺 Russia Leads Europe in Crypto Adoption — Here’s Why 💥

According to Chainalysis, Russia now ranks #1 in Europe for crypto adoption, outpacing the UK and Germany. Between July 2024 and June 2025, Russia received $376.3B in crypto, a 48% increase from last year.

The surge is driven by two key factors — a massive rise in institutional transfers (up 86% YoY) and an eightfold boom in DeFi activity. Chainalysis notes Russia’s DeFi expansion and large-value transactions show growing use of crypto for financial services.

A major contributor is the ruble-pegged stablecoin A7A5, used for cross-border payments despite Western sanctions. A7A5 has become the largest non–US dollar stablecoin, surpassing $500M in market cap.

While the EU and US accuse A7A5 of aiding sanction evasion, Russia’s crypto market continues to thrive, highlighting its shift toward on-chain finance amid global restrictions ⚡️

🅰️ UPD: Paris Crypto Attacks — #Chainalysis says criminals still think Bitcoin is untraceable

🟠Paris is becoming a crypto warzone this May. First, a €7.8M ransom kidnapping. Then, Paymium CEO’s daughter and grandson fought off armed attackers in broad daylight. And now, Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin drops the truth: these gangs are stuck in 2017.

🟠Speaking at Consensus 2025, Levin said it bluntly: crypto ain’t anonymous anymore. But old-school criminals still think they can launder $BTC like cash. Reality? Those onchain breadcrumbs are leading cops straight to their doors — and yes, sometimes even with asset recovery.

🟠Funny? Maybe. Sad? Definitely. Levin warns this “#bitcoin = cash” delusion is why gangs are grabbing guns and going full wrench attack on crypto whales — blind to the fact that blockchain forensics is two steps ahead.

🟠Worse? It’s a global trend now. Levin confirmed it’s not just France. Vegas, Spain, across Europe — same playbook. And while law enforcement is getting sharper, crypto influencers keep flexing Lambos and NFTs like it’s bull run season.

🤑 Bottom line? #blockchain will expose them. But a gun in your face still moves faster. Stop living in 2017. Upgrade your OPSEC. Stop flexing your bags. And accept that in 2025, paranoia is your best wallet.

Chainalysis: Crypto Crime May Hit $4B+ in 2025

Chainalysis' mid-year review shows over $2.17B stolen from centralized platforms and wallets by June 2025. This puts the industry on track to exceed $4B in thefts by year’s end.

Notably, ~$8.5B in stolen funds remain unlaundered—sitting idle in blacklisted wallets, likely waiting for low-liquidity bridges or decentralized mixing. A disturbing new trend: wrench attacks, where physical coercion is used to access private keys, rose 240% YoY, mostly in LATAM and Eastern Europe.

Governments are pushing for mandatory reporting of custodial wallet thefts, while new startups are offering “wallet insurance” with varying levels of coverage.

Reminder: Consider multisig, biometric key backups, and geo-locking for large personal wallets.

🔹 The USA rose to second place (compared to a lower position in 2024), while India maintains its leadership due to the active use of centralized and decentralized services.
🔹 According to Chainalysis, global cryptocurrency adoption is growing due to institutional interest, the emergence of regulated instruments, and activity in countries with limited access to traditional finance.

💢Why Everyone's Watching #MENA for Crypto Innovation🚀

🪄The Middle East & North Africa region ranks as the seventh-largest crypto market globally in 2024, accounting for 7.5% of the world's total transaction volume, according to #Chainalysis . And as always, $BTC remains the leading asset, driving both institutional and retail interest across the region.

💢What really caught my attention is how quickly MENA is shaping its own approach to crypto?

🪶 If you're curious to dive deeper, I came across an insightful article and pulled out a few highlights that stood out to me

1️⃣Tokenization in #Bahrain :
🎁The Central Bank of Bahrain updated its framework to include #DigitalToken Offerings. This both strengthens investor.

🎁This both strengthens investor protection and expands opportunities for licensed firms. For me, it's a great example of regulation keeping pace with innovation.

2️⃣Saudi Arabia and #UAECrypto Developments:
🎁I found it especially interesting that Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of WhiteBIT Group, met with Prince Naif bin Abdullah in Saudi Arabia to explore collaboration in blockchain infrastructure and digital banking.

🎁Meanwhile, Ripple secured DFSA approval to offer regulated crypto payment services in Dubai. These moves show the region is open to global partnerships.

3️⃣SCA & VARA Partnership
🎁The collaboration between regulators streamlines licensing processes for virtual asset service providers (VASPs), makingmaking market entry faster and clearer while maintaining strong compliance.

🎁This step builds transparency and trust - both essential for a thriving digital asset ecosystem.

🌐So, MENA isn't just following global $BTC trends - it's actively shaping them.

To me, this looks like a deliberate push to balance innovation with regulation, which could turn the region into a global benchmark for crypto adoption.

Asia Emerges as a Hotspot for Violent Crypto Crime: Chainalysis

According to the latest mid-year report from #Chainalysis , Asia is emerging as the epicenter of a wave of cryptocurrency-related crime, with record digital thefts and a troubling rise in violence targeting crypto holders. The Asia-Pacific region now ranks second in Bitcoin theft incidents.

State-sponsored hacks and "keylog attacks"

Asia's crypto crime ecosystem is a complex web where North Korean hackers carry out thefts worth billions of USD, organized crime gangs kidnap executives for ransom, and local financial platforms become unwitting money laundering tools. The Bybit hack of 1.5 billion USD linked to North Korea is the largest crypto theft ever.
The report also points out that "keylog attacks" (physical violence to access crypto assets) are increasing alongside Bitcoin price volatility. The murder of Chinese-Philippine steel tycoon Anson Que, where kidnappers demanded a ransom of 3.5 million USD in crypto, is a prominent example showing the overlap between crypto crime and violence. Nevertheless, Chainalysis emphasizes that the immutability of blockchain can be a powerful tool for seeking justice. #Asia

Crypto Crime Hits New Record: $2.17 B Stolen in H1 2025

🚨 Security Alarm: $2.17 B in Crypto Thefts So Far in 2025 🔓

Crypto crime is reaching record highs. According to Chainalysis, a staggering $2.17 billion has been stolen in the first half of 2025—already surpassing the total for all of 2024.

🔍 Breakdown of the thefts:

$1.5 B stolen in a single North Korea–linked hack on Bybit (the largest hack in crypto history, attributed to Lazarus Group).

A major additional breach at India’s CoinDCX (~$44 M) further fueled the spike.

Personal wallet hacks—including phishing, malware, and “wrench attacks” (physical coercion)—now account for over 23% of total losses.

🌐 Global impact & trends:

Theft volumes this year reached the H1 2025 $2 B mark 72 days faster than in 2022.

Victims span the globe, with hotspots including North America, Europe, Asia, MENA, and CSAO regions.

📈 What’s ahead:
If current trends persist, crypto service thefts could top $4 B by year-end.

✅ What This Means for You:

Security infrastructure is failing at scale—this isn’t just bad luck, it’s a structural threat.

Exchanges & protocols must audit rigorously, strengthen cold storage, and bolster insurance/backstop systems.

Individual holders need to upgrade personal wallet security—use hardware wallets, avoid phishing, and stay physically secure.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Calls for Crypto Industry Shutdown. 🪙🤯🤥

During the annual banking oversight hearing, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon expressed his desire to "close down" the entire crypto industry.*

CEOs from major banks, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and BNY Mellon, joined Dimon to discuss the effectiveness of the banking industry in serving Americans.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, a vocal critic of the banking industry, found common ground with Dimon on the topic of cryptocurrencies, citing their use in illicit transactions and funding dangerous criminal activities.

Warren referred to a Chainalysis report estimating over $23 billion in cryptocurrency laundering in 2022, though a mid-year report in July 2023 showed a 65% decrease in illicit crypto activities.

Dimon acknowledged the association of crypto with criminal activities, citing anonymity and instant money transfer as attractive features for criminals.

Despite Dimon's strong stance against crypto, JPMorgan has ventured into the blockchain space with initiatives like the corporate stablecoin, JPM Coin, and the blockchain platform, Onyx.

Warren questioned all witnesses, including Dimon, about the need for crypto companies to adhere to the same anti-money laundering rules as traditional banks.

All eight banking representatives, including Dimon, unanimously agreed that crypto companies facilitating financial transactions should follow anti-money laundering rules.
