According to the latest report from a blockchain data analysis agency, the cryptocurrency ecosystem in a Middle Eastern country is set to experience explosive growth by 2025, reaching a total scale of $7.78 billion. Behind this figure lies a story about financial survival.

What happens when fiat credit systems collapse?

Imagine your savings losing 40%-50% of their purchasing power each year. This is not a hypothetical scenario but the daily reality for the people of a Middle Eastern country in 2025. The local currency has depreciated nearly 90% against the US dollar (since 2018), rendering traditional bank savings almost worthless. In such an extreme environment, Bitcoin and other crypto assets are no longer mere speculative instruments but the last line of defense for safeguarding assets.

Data speaks for itself. During the social unrest at the end of 2025, especially during the network outages from December 28 to January 8, a clear shift occurred—large amounts of funds flowed from exchanges to personal cold wallets. People began self-custody of their assets. What does this reflect? When confidence in the financial system collapses and capital controls tighten, decentralized assets become the only way to maintain financial autonomy.

This is not just an instinct for personal survival but also a reflection of the true role of cryptocurrencies in the global financial landscape—where traditional systems fail, blockchain offers an alternative.
