YouGov Poll: UK Crypto Holders Decline, Portfolio Sizes Increase

A new YouGov poll shows fewer people in the UK now own cryptocurrency. However, those who still hold crypto are investing more money than before. The data suggests a smaller crowd with larger bets.

The YouGov survey was released by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the country’s main financial watchdog. It is based on interviews with 2,353 adults carried out between August and early September.

Fewer People Hold Crypto

According to the YouGov poll, crypto ownership in the UK fell to 8% of adults in 2025. That is down from 12% in 2024. This marks a clear drop over the past year.
