In the third quarter of 2025, India’s cryptocurrency investor base saw strong growth led by the 18-to-25 age group, which overtook the 26-to-35 bracket in activity. Tier-2 cities like Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Patna made the top-10 list for crypto investing, reflecting deeper market penetration beyond major metros. The report highlights that digital-assets trading platforms are gaining popularity among youth for their lower entry-point, ease of access and growth narratives. Analysts say this shift may influence retail-fund flows and investor-education efforts for crypto regulation.
