<p>When it comes to overall volume and adoption, the Middle East’s statistical performance is not very noteworthy when compared to other regions of the world. In 2023, the combined Middle East and North Africa accounted for roughly 7.2% of the worldwide cryptocurrency volume. However, the Middle East continues to play a crucial role in the cryptocurrency industry because of its liberal regulations and quick development. Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the UAE were ranked 20th, 35th, 47th, 57th, 66th, and 78th, respectively, in Chainalysis’ 2023 Adoption Index.</p>

Crypto miners including Core Scientific, Riot Blockchain, Marathon Digital, and Argo Blockchain had expressed interest in expanding to Scandinavia, the Middle East, and other loosely governed regions.</p>
<p>The preference for these Middle Eastern countries comes after China’s crackdown on crypto mining and the larger sector.</p>
