APAC leads crypto adoption as nine countries rank in the top 20 of Chainalysis’s 2026 Global Crypto Adoption Index, including Japan at number four. Bitget now says about $387.5 million moved to attacker addresses, up from its initial $351.6 million estimate after Zcash and TRON transfers were counted. Cold storage stayed secure and the loss falls inside its protection fund. Cross-border stablecoin transfers drive regional growth.
