London, United Kingdom - A Gemini report released on May 27 reveals that the UK experienced the most significant year-over-year growth in cryptocurrency ownership. The report surveyed 7,200 adults across the US, Europe, Singapore, and Australia. It indicated a rise to 24% in April, up from 18% the previous year.
Singapore leads globally with 28% crypto ownership as of April, compared to 26% in 2024. France saw an increase to 21% in 2025 from 18% in 2024, while the US grew to 22% from 21%. Overall crypto ownership in the US, UK, France, and Singapore increased to 24% from 21% last year.
The rise in global crypto ownership is attributed to the Trump administration's policies and positive sentiment following the 2022 bear market. The report notes a warming regulatory environment in Europe, particularly in France and the UK, due to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The UK is finalizing regulations for crypto exchanges to enhance consumer protection, with a "near-final version" expected later this year.
