According to the latest index released by CoinDesk Research, the global cryptocurrency industry is diverging into two distinct tiers. Asia leads in retail usage metrics (such as trading volume and stablecoin flows), while the United States consolidates its position as a hub for institutions and regulation. This structural shift indicates that the decoupling of liquidity and compliance between different regions is becoming increasingly apparent. Stablecoins are a prime example of this divergence: in developed markets, stablecoins are mainly used as trading collateral; in emerging economies, stablecoins play a significant role in remittances and commercial sectors, creating stable trading demand that is unaffected by price cycles.
