Bangladesh's Crypto Boom That Refuses to Be Banned

Cryptocurrency has quietly gained ground in Bangladesh despite official restrictions and bans. Global indexes put Bangladesh among the top crypto adopters in 2025. Chainalysis ranks it 13th worldwide in crypto usage, and TRM Labs places it at 14th despite the ban. Reports estimate around 3. 1 million Bangladeshis now own crypto wallets, largely driven by remittance needs and dollar-denominated stablecoins.
