The ranking reflects not the overall market size but the actual usage of stablecoins within national economies. Ukraine’s indicator of 3.60% of GDP far exceeds that of other countries, including Nigeria (1.20%) and Georgia (1.06%), underscoring the growing importance of cryptocurrencies in financial transactions and international settlements amid global trends.
Looking ahead, stablecoins are expected to play an even greater role in Ukraine, potentially enhancing their economic impact and improving access to financial services in the context of worldwide digitisation.
