According to a study by foreign exchange education platform<\/u><\/a> Forex<\/u><\/a>, Hong Kong is among the most crypto-ready jurisdiction in the world. Factors considered to calculate a country\u2019s readiness were the number of crypto ATMs proportional to the population and geographical size and the number of blockchain startups per 100,00 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what we know: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While public acceptance is key to crypto\u2019s existence, the road to mainstream crypto adoption requires governments to set up a supporting infrastructure that complements the requirements of the technology and the people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors such as crypto ATM installations, pro-crypto regulations, startup culture, and a fair tax regime signal a country\u2019s readiness to adopt cryptocurrencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering these factors, a Forex Suggest study revealed<\/u><\/a> Hong Kong\u2019s position as the best-prepared country for widespread cryptocurrency adoption, with a crypto-readiness score of 8.6. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite having a bigger crypto infrastructure than the island nation, the United States and Switzerland reached the top three with lower crypto-readiness scores of 7.7 and 7.5, respectively. Switzerland has a crypto ATM every 161.5 miles (260 km), while the U.S. has installed crypto ATMs every 168.3 miles (271 km).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto taxes serve as the biggest deterrents to mainstream crypto adoption. Hong Kong, Switzerland, Panama, Portugal, Germany, Malaysia, and Turkey share the top spot for the lowest crypto taxes on capital gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
