According to Moneycontrol, citing the OECD’s *Asia Capital Markets Report 2026*, between June 2024 and June 2025, India received about $340 billion in crypto asset inflows (including stablecoins), equivalent to nearly 9% of the country’s GDP, ranking first among Asia’s major economies by absolute scale. The report’s data comes from Chainalysis. The article also notes that, under this metric, “inflows” refer to the total value of cryptocurrencies received by on-chain addresses associated with users in India, and do not equate to cross-border capital inflows; nor do they prove that funds actually entered or left India. Some may involve local transactions, wallet transfers, payments, or DeFi activity.

After taking a closer look at the original text, it turns out the person themselves already put in a disclaimer—yet within Chinese-language circles it’s being circulated as “India crazily pulls in 340 billion in foreign capital,” which is ridiculous.

This OECD report also includes DeFi interactions, but it is actually quite inflated and cannot be considered as FDI.

Chainalysis's data methodology has always been like this. India has a large population base and many retail investors, so naturally the number of addresses is high.

The attributive "number one in Asia," combined with the GDP share, is clearly aimed at grabbing attention; those in the know understand what's really going on.

340B sounds scary, but it includes local wallet transfers and exchange internal transfers, so the practical significance is limited.

What is the proportion of stablecoins? If most of them are USDT used for remittance or payment, that is a different matter from "investment inflow."

The 9% GDP figure sounds alarming, but the explanation says it's just on-chain address correlation, not real cross-border capital. The media is using clickbait headlines.
