East Asia’s share of global cryptocurrency transaction volumes halved amid China’s crackdown on the industry, according to a study from Chainalysis.
The region received $590.9 billion of cryptocurrency between July 2020 and June 2021, equivalent to 14% of global activity in that period. That compares with 31% between July 2019 and June 2020, the report showed.
