Abstract
From 1 st February 2024 to 31 st January 2025, 14 cryptomarkets were monitored, of which two closed during the reporting period. • The three markets reaching more than 10,000 listings in a snapshot during this period were Incognito, Archetyp and Abacus. • In the final month of monitoring, Archetyp, Nexus, Torzon, Dark Matter and MGM Grand were the largest accessible cryptomarkets. • There were 30,786 and 26,222 drug listings per snapshot in February 2024 and January 2025, respectively, with no significant change in overall trend in the drug market size during the 12-month period. • Cannabis comprised the greatest percentage of drug listings from February 2024 to January 2025 (26.5%), followed by MDMA (8.4%), benzodiazepines (8.1%), opioids (excluding heroin) (7.6%), cocaine (6.9%), and meth/amphetamine (illicit) (6.1%). • The market share of NPS showed the highest rate of increase from 3.7% in February 2024 to 4.8% in January 2025. • The greatest rate of decrease in market share was observed for other medicines, from 4.2% in February Note: The two cryptomarkets that closed before the end of January 2025 are in grey colour font. The maximum size of the market (in the period from 1 st February 2024 to 31 st January 2025 as shown in Table 1 ) is proportional to the font size of the cryptomarket. Table 1.
