UK Crypto Ownership Declines to 8% in 2025, FCA Study Shows

News Flash 2025-12-18 06:11

A recent study commissioned by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) indicates a decline in UK cryptocurrency ownership to 8% in 2025, down from 12% in 2024. This marks the first decrease in four years, despite a 91% awareness rate among the population. Notably, the average value of crypto holdings has increased, with more individuals holding between £1,001 and £10,000, while those with holdings under £100 have decreased. Bitcoin continues to be the most popular cryptocurrency, followed by Ether and Solana. In response to these trends, the FCA is advocating for clearer regulatory frameworks, including proposals for trading platforms and custody services, in line with the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. The UK government plans to finalize comprehensive crypto regulations by October 2027, with a particular emphasis on countering the financing of terrorism.
