在过去两年中，加密货币的采用显着增长。这是市场上经历过的增长最快的趋势之一，预计会随着时间的推移而持续下去。对增长趋势的观察显示了这种采用的一些不太可能的驱动因素。 NFT 领域在去年也变得引人注目，根据数据，NFT 为全球某些地区采用加密技术做出了重大贡献。
CSAO 通过 NFT 拥抱加密货币
在过去几年中，中亚、南亚和大洋洲 (CSAO) 更多地采用了加密技术。然而，在世界其他地区通过比特币、以太坊和狗狗币等加密货币推动其采用的情况下，世界的这一地区似乎已经接受了不可替代的代币 (NFT)。
2021 年 6 月至 2022 年 6 月期间，世界这一地区的加密货币交易量接近 1 万亿美元。更有趣的是 NFT 交易量占其中的百分比。链分析报告 在这段时间记录的 9320 亿美元中，NFT 占了 58%。
从世界这一地区流向加密货币的网络流量也是如此。在 NFT 占网络总流量的情况下，区块链游戏约占 21%。然而，CSAO 加密货币用户似乎正在转向娱乐，而不是在其他市场上常见的追逐利润。

作为全球第三大加密货币市场，CSAO 的数字最终对数字资产的采用非常重要。鉴于此，他们的前进方向也指向了大部分资金最终流向的方向。

稳定币在这些汇款市场中占有重要地位，因为它们在转账过程中保持其价值，直到它到达接收方。同样，ETH/WETH 在交易量最大的加密货币列表中也占有重要地位，这也紧随这些国家的 NFT、区块链游戏和汇款增长之后。
