Wanna know what crypto your neighbors are actually buying? Turns out it’s not all about BTC and ETH. We crunched the trending coins across 5 major markets as of mid-March 2025, and the differences are wild.
The Big Boys Are Consistent (Kinda)
Bitcoin still runs the show everywhere — sitting pretty at $82,648-$82,965 across the US, UK, Brazil, India, and Philippines. Ethereum’s locked in as #2 globally around $1,927-$1,931, with Solana cruising at $125. Boring, predictable, but that’s the baseline.
Where Things Get Spicy 🌶️
US/UK crowd is weirdly into The AntiShifty (ANTY) — a micro-cap at $0.001834 ranked #2761. Meanwhile, Brazil’s obsessed with alt L1s: they’re loading up on Solana harder than most markets, plus Heroes of Mavia (MAVIA) made the top 6 there. PancakeSwap (CAKE) is also way more popular in Brazil than elsewhere.
India’s different beast — they’re sleeping on XRP compared to Western markets, but SHIB has a cult following (rank #22). They’re also the only region where Pi Network ($1.14) shows up, suggesting retail FOMO there.
Philippines leans into gaming tokens hard: Axie Infinity (AXS) at #131, Ronin (RON) at #142, and Smooth Love Potion (SLP) in the mix. Makes sense given the play-to-earn gaming culture there.
The Meme Coin Wild Card
Dogecoin ($0.1686-$0.168) and Shiba Inu ($0.00001253-$0.00001255) have basically identical pricing across all 5 regions, suggesting these are truly global plays. Pepe (PEPE) prices vary slightly but rank consistently in the 40s everywhere.
Bottom Line
Global top 5 is locked in stone, but once you go outside top 10, it’s a totally different game per region. Your local degens have preferences — and those preferences tell a story about what each market actually cares about.
