Improving crypto regulatory clarity leads to a 125% surge in global retail crypto transactions for two consecutive years, says TRM Labs. Retail crypto transactions worldwide increased by over 125% from January to September 2025 due to practical use cases like payments and remittances.
In the US, crypto growth has been bolstered by regulatory clarity and political commitment since 2023.
