Major crypto exchanges report up to 50% of dormant investors reactivating their accounts, as Bitcoin hits record highs and the US GENIUS Act boosts confidence in digital assets.
Investors Reawaken Amid Bitcoin Boom
Cryptocurrency exchanges are witnessing a sharp revival of interest as previously dormant users return to trading platforms in large numbers. Leading exchanges, including CoinDCX and Mudrex, have reported that nearly half of their inactive users have resumed activity over the past four months.
The renewed momentum has been attributed to the passage of the landmark US stablecoin legislation, the GENIUS Act, coupled with Bitcoin reaching unprecedented highs.
Mudrex revealed that between July and August 2025, around 45–50 per cent of inactive users became active once again, significantly boosting trading volumes.
“Investor activity in India has been accelerating over the past two years. Especially Bitcoin volumes grew 49 per cent between July and August this year, while Ethereum increased by 105 per cent since July. At the same time, Solana rose by 50 per cent,” said Mudrex.
Equity Investors Join the Crypto Frenzy
CoinDCX also reported a significant influx of dormant users reengaging with the platform since July. The exchange noted that while a prior breach incident prompted temporary withdrawals, investor confidence returned swiftly as clarity set in.
CoinDCX further highlighted a growing crossover between traditional equity investors and crypto trading. Active participation from equity investors on the platform rose from 39 per cent in October 2024 to 53 per cent in June 2025, underscoring a broader shift in investment strategies.
US Legislation and Economic Fears Drive Demand
Industry experts suggest the resurgence is linked not only to market optimism but also to macroeconomic conditions. Sharat Chandra, Founder of Bengaluru-based EmpowerEdge Ventures, said the surge in July and August was “fuelled primarily by the passing of the GENIUS Act and the massive deficit on account of the ‘big beautiful bill’, which drove flight of capital into Bitcoin and other asset classes.”
“Bitcoin hit an all-time high price of over $1,24,000 in August 2025. According to The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) the law will increase the budget deficit by $2.8 trillion by 2034. Inflationary fears on account of tariffs also aided the surge in crypto trading,” Chandra added.
Seasonal Outlook for Crypto Markets
Despite the current boom, exchanges anticipate a temporary slowdown in October and November, citing seasonal patterns in the digital asset sector. Historically, activity tends to pick up towards the end of the year.
Sumit Gupta, Co-Founder of CoinDCX, said: “The exchange expected Bitcoin to reach around $1,50,000 before the year-end, driving healthy participation across the market.”
With both legislation and macroeconomic trends aligning in favour of digital assets, exchanges are preparing for another wave of investor activity as the year draws to a close.
