Crypto Adoption Index, by metric Peru 2023

Crypto adoption in Peru was substantially lower than elsewhere in the world or in other countries in South America. This is according to estimates based on web traffic toward individual websites that are used to perform cryptocurrency transactions. Peru's ranking in the world declined as time went by, initially focusing on P2P exchanges as its main use for cryptocurrencies. The use of P2P is likely connected to remittances - or the sending of money back home from people working abroad - although countries such as Colombia receive millions worth of remittances each year.

Supplementary notes

The source explains that its index is calculated using five different sub-indices, which are estimated using an individual country's cryptocurrency transaction volume in different situations. These estimates are based off web traffic patterns from individual websites that are used for such transactions and/or protocols.

Several changes were made to the source's methodology over the years. In 2022, the main change involved the inclusion of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) transaction volume. Centralized and Decentralized sub-indices both count equally to the overall index.
