ApeX Protocol ranked Singapore as the top blockchain-friendly country, scoring 85.4. The numbers are impressive:
1,600 patents
2,433 blockchain jobs
81 crypto exchanges
For a country with fewer than 6 million people, that’s a huge achievement.
Hong Kong and Estonia Are Close Behind
Hong Kong came second (82.7), thanks to its strong financial systems that make blockchain adoption easy. Estonia, a tiny nation of 1.4 million, scored 81.5 with 95 patents and 52 exchanges.
Other Big Players
Switzerland, the U.S., Canada, Australia, South Korea, the UK, and the UAE also ranked high for blockchain innovation.
The U.S.: Blockchain Leader with Challenges
The U.S. excels in blockchain stats:
32,000+ patents
17,000+ jobs
166 exchanges
But regulatory roadblocks like Operation Chokepoint 2.0 have slowed growth.
What’s Next for U.S. Blockchain?
With Trump’s election, the U.S. is aiming to reclaim its blockchain edge. Key moves include:
A new crypto market bill
Pro-crypto Paul Atkins leading the SEC
David Sacks advising on AI and crypto at the White House
