Crypto exchange Bitget has released its 2025 Crypto Market Confidence and Bitcoin Investment Trend Report, revealing strong optimism among global investors. The survey found that 66% of respondents plan to increase their crypto investments, even in the face of global economic challenges. This renewed enthusiasm underscores the resilience of the crypto sector and its growing role as a hedge against inflation.

Emerging Markets Take the Lead in Crypto Adoption

The report highlights a powerful trend: emerging markets are driving the next wave of crypto adoption. Nigeria leads with 84% of respondents intending to boost their crypto portfolios, followed by China (73%) and India (72%).

For investors in these regions, digital assets represent more than speculation—they’re seen as a financial safeguard and an opportunity for inclusion in a global economy that traditional banking systems often overlook.

In contrast, sentiment in developed countries remains cautious. Investors in Germany, France, Japan, and South Korea showed reduced enthusiasm, suggesting a divide in risk appetite between emerging and mature markets.

Bitcoin Still Dominates, but Altcoins Gain Ground

Half of all participants believe the next Bitcoin bull run could push prices to between $150,000 and $200,000. Many long-term investors also expect institutional buying to accelerate, potentially driving prices even higher.

After Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana are the most favored assets, attracting interest from 67% and 55% of respondents, respectively. Platform tokens, meme coins, and Layer-2 projects also remain popular among retail investors seeking diversified exposure.

Bitget Expands Global Reach Through Education and Partnerships

Bitget’s COO, Vugar Usi Zade, described crypto confidence as a “global movement,” emphasizing how emerging economies are becoming the backbone of blockchain innovation. He explained that Bitget’s Universal Exchange model—which combines centralized, decentralized, and on-chain trading—aims to meet growing investor demand for both reliability and opportunity.

Bitget’s latest report paints a clear picture: crypto confidence is not fading—it’s evolving. Emerging markets are at the heart of this transformation, signaling that the next major growth phase for digital assets will likely be driven by new regions, new investors, and renewed belief in blockchain’s potential.
