While a poll suggested that the percentage of crypto ownership dropped in the UK, the amount of digital assets held increased, with a majority reporting Bitcoin and Ether holdings.
A new poll conducted on behalf of the UK’s financial watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), suggests that cryptocurrency ownership in the country decreased over the previous 12 months, but the overall amount of digital assets held is growing.
According to the results of a YouGov poll released by the FCA on Tuesday, the percentage of the UK adult population holding cryptocurrency dropped to 8% in 2025 from 12% in 2024. The data was based on 2,353 interviews conducted Aug. 5 to Sept. 2.
While crypto ownership in the country declined, the share is still double that based on data from 2021: 4% ownership. In addition, the poll cites a “continuing trend” in holdings, with small-value ownership declining and large-value holdings growing. According to the report, 21% of respondents held $1,343 to $6,708 in crypto, and 11% had $6,709 to $13,416.
