MEXC: 46% of global users currently use cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation

2025-09-18 14:40:45

Global inflation continues, causing fiat to weaken and cryptocurrencies increasingly being seen as a “hedge against inflation.” A report from MEXC shows that the percentage of global users choosing crypto to protect their assets increased from 29% to 46% in Q2/2025, with East Asia and the Middle East leading the increase. Latin America stands out with the memecoin trend ( rising from 27% to 34%), while South Asia recorded a surge in spot trading and futures contracts.

The investment portfolio remains focused on public chain tokens (65% holdings), while stablecoins stabilize around 50%. However, regional differences are evident: South Asia and Southeast Asia trade futures contracts far above the global average, while Latin America tends towards a lower-risk strategy.

MEXC forecasts that the third quarter of 2025 will witness four main trends: crypto continues to serve as an inflation hedge, a shift from speculation to structured trading, stronger portfolio diversification, and increasingly pronounced asset differentiation.
