MENA crypto economy stays flat at $443.3B as UAE gains

Chainalysis said MENA’s crypto economy was essentially unchanged in the July 2025 to June 2026 reporting period, even as the UAE expanded sharply and Türkiye remained the region’s largest market. The firm said regional crypto value received totaled $443.3 billion, down 1.4% from $449.6 billion in the prior period, with the UAE up 32% to $104.8 billion and Türkiye at $144.5 billion. In its analysis published on Oct. 26, 2026, Chainalysis said the MENA total tracked the global rate of decline and reflected a region shaped by conflict, licensing changes and capital movement rather than the bear market alone.
