They agree on a 141% year-over-year increase in these transfers.

Canada has been identified as the top G7 nation for peer-to-peer crypto transactions by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, according to multiple outlets.
The increase in crypto-based remittances to Asia, particularly India, China, and the Philippines, has been a significant factor in this development. These remittance-sized transfers totaled $2.36 billion from July 2025 to June 2026, marking a 141% year-over-year increase.
While both Cryptopolitan and Cointelegraph confirm the $2.36 billion figure and the 141% increase, Cointelegraph provides additional granularity, reporting that transfers to the Philippines alone rose by 28% to $61 million.
This trend underscores the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies for international money transfers, particularly in regions with large diaspora populations. Crypto transactions offer a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional remittance methods, which often involve high fees and lengthy processing times.
