The United Kingdom has recorded the fastest growth in cryptocurrency adoption globally in 2025. The finding comes from a new report by Gemini, the crypto exchange based in the United States.
The proportion of UK adults holding cryptocurrencies rose to 24% in April, up from 18% a year earlier, marking the sharpest year-on-year increase among the countries surveyed.
The report, based on a survey of more than 7,000 people across Europe, the United States, Singapore, and Australia, shows that Europe is leading the rise in cryptocurrency ownership.
Singapore continues to hold the highest individual rate, with 28% of respondents reporting ownership of cryptocurrencies.
Despite not yet having a national regulatory framework in place, the UK remains attractive to investors. In April, the government published a draft statutory instrument aimed at regulating crypto exchanges and related services.
The Treasury is expected to finalise the near-final version later in 2025 following public consultation.
