Are 8 Major Projects Betting Big on MCP? Is the AI Agent Sector Primed for a Second Wave of Hype?
Multiple projects are rolling out MCP protocols, gaining significant traction as the missing link to connect AI agents with the real world—and with each other. What is MCP? Still confused about MCP? Let’s break it down. MCP (Multi-Agent Communication Protocol) is a standard introduced by Anthropic and now widely adopted by AI giants like OpenAI, Google, Cursor, and WindSurf. Think of it as a universal language for AI agents to communicate and collaborate.1. DeMCP Launched on April 25, DeMCP s...

Plasma, a financial layer built on Bitcoin and backed by Tether, has launched with native privacy features that enable it to achieve goals that are difficult for other cryptocurrency projects to reach. With Circle's successful IPO and its impressive market performance, the focus on stablecoins has gradually increased. Plasma, a stablecoin chain supported by Tether, completed its ICO last night, with the $500 million quota being "snapped up" within minutes. While Plasma is primarily labeled as...

Asia–Pacific Crypto Adoption: India Leads, Japan Grows Fastest

Asia–Pacific Crypto Adoption: India Leads, Japan Grows Fastest
Region at a Glance
Between July 2022 and June 2025 monthly on-chain transaction value in Asia–Pacific rose from $81 B to a peak of $244 B—tripling in 30 months and making APAC the fastest-growing crypto geography worldwide. Even after the post-December pullback, the region still clocks more than $185 B a month, regularly outpacing North America and trailing only Europe.
India: Biggest Pool, Bottom-Up Momentum
India remains the outright heavyweight, generating $338 B in on-chain value over the latest 12-month period. Growth is driven from the ground up:
20-million-plus diaspora remittances converted through stable-coins
Young retail traders treating crypto as a second income
A fintech-savvy population already comfortable with UPI and e-RUPI
Institutional interest is now catching up: the India Web-3 Council lobbies for clear rules, while local start-ups have attracted over $3 B in venture funding since 2021 .
Japan: Policy Reform Ignites 120 % YoY Spike
No large market expanded faster than Japan, where on-chain value jumped 120 % year-over-year. Three policy levers explain the lift:
Crypto included in revised investment-fund rules
A pending tax overhaul that may cut rates from 55 % to 20 %
First licensed yen-backed stablecoin issuer approved in 2025
Trading flows show Japanese investors rotating heavily into XRP (US$21.7 B JPY purchases) ahead of Ripple’s partnership with SBI, while fresh ETF applications for XRP + BTC mix products aim to bring institutions off the sidelines .
South Korea: Speculation, Stable-coins & Pro Traders
Korea keeps its long-time #2 slot thanks to high-octance speculation and the region’s deepest KRW liquidity. New exchange pairs (USDT/KRW) pushed stable-coin inflows to US$59 B in the last year, and 46 % of all Korean on-chain value sits in the “professional” $10 k–$1 M band—double the global share. The upcoming Virtual-Asset User Protection Act is expected to green-light bank-issued KRW stable-coins, potentially locking even more value on-shore.
Vietnam & Pakistan: Utility, Not Trading
Smaller economies use crypto for real-life needs:
Vietnam—gaming, freelance payments and remittances; crypto is now a parallel savings vehicle
Pakistan—350 B annual remittances, double-digit inflation and a young, mobile-first population turn USDT into a “hard-currency” checking account, especially among gig-economy workers
Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong: Clarity as a Service
These markets opt for regulatory sandboxes and updated AML/CFT rules rather than moral panic. The result is deeper institutional participation, tokenized-asset pilots and a growing share of over-$1 M “whale” transactions that lift average ticket sizes.
Key Take-away
Asia–Pacific is no longer an emerging region for crypto—it is the market. From India’s grassroots volume to Japan’s policy-led re-rating and Korea’s trader culture, the continent shows that crypto can thrive under wildly different economic models, regulatory styles and user profiles. Expect the diversity itself—rather than any single country—to shape global adoption narratives for the next cycle.
