The United Kingdom is leading the world in increasing ownership of cryptocurrency among its population in 2025, beating economies including the United States, according to a new study by Gemini.
On 27 May, the US -based Crypto Exchange, established by Cameron and Tyler Vinklevos, released its latest “State of Crypto” reports, which provides insight into changes in global adoption of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin (BTC).
Based on a survey of 7,200 adults in the US, Europe, Singapore and Australia, the report found that Europe is moving forward in ownership of growing crypto, in front of Britain.
The UK saw the largest year-on-year growth in the crypto ownership of the surveyed nations, indicating the responsibility of the respondents to the Crypto Holdings from 18% to 24% last year to 24% from April 18, in the report shared with the coinlagraph.
Crypto sees the highest ownership in Singapore
While the UK has allegedly seen an increase in new crypto owners, it is yet to reach the world’s top crypto ownership rate.
According to Mithun’s report, Singapore has been a top country globally for Crypto ownership in the last two years, 28% local survey respondents said they were invested in Crypto by April. In 2024, that share was 26%.
Some European countries have raised speed, 21% of French respondents reported Crypto in 2025, above 18% in 2024. In the US, the indicators increased from 21% to 22%.
The total crypto ownership rate in the United States, UK, France and Singapore increased from 21% to 24% last year, suggesting that globally is now one in four cryptos.
The implications of the asbestos regulation of the European Union?
According to Mithun, the rise of global crypto ownership over the years can be held responsible for the impact of the policies of Trump administration on overall positive spirit after the 2022 bear market.
The report stated, “In particular, Crypto ownership in France and UK increased, reflecting a warming regulatory environment for digital assets in Europe,” referring to the rollouts of the European Union markets in the Crypto-Esset Regulation (MICA).

However, the UK has yet adopted a national regulatory structure for cryptocurrency.
In April, the UK government published a draft statutory equipment (SI) with the aim of regulating Crypto exchanges, dealers and agents to increase consumer protection and ensure operational flexibility.
After conducting a public consultation with the final entries accepted before May 23, the UK Treasury is expected to finalize the “near-final version” of SI later this year.
