New In: Europeans Open up to Crypto, Adoption and Awareness at an All-Time High
While the United States regulators remain uncertain about their stance on digital currencies, resulting in a slow adoption rate, Europeans appear to be opening up to cryptocurrencies at a quicker pace.
According to a recent report from leading firms Deloitte, Ipsos, and Adan, a diverse range of individuals from Europe are increasingly investing in and holding digital currencies.
In a survey carried out in January 2025, 2,000 French individuals over 18 were interviewed, and 1,000 respondents from Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium were also among the participants.
Adoption rates are up by 19% in the United Kingdom, while Belgium and the Netherlands recorded a 17% upsurge. Interest rates have risen in both countries, reaching 33%, just right behind Italys 37%.
France, interestingly, stands out on the European stage. Ten percent of the French population is reported to be holding crypto assets, while 33 percent also revealed their plans to acquire digital currencies in 2025a notable 10 percent increase from last years survey.
After recording three years of consecutive growth, the survey disclosed that 2024 marked a stabilization period for adopting cryptocurrency in France.
Laurent Ovion, the President of Adan, who made a remarkable observation about the general public sentiments, is quoted saying;
While the adoption of crypto assets is stabilizing after several years of growth, public interest remains strong, and Web3 use cases continue to develop. Meanwhile, companies in the sector are showing solid ambitions and great resilience, despite persistent challenges related to financing and access to banking services.
Notably, holders are combining crypto assets with their traditional savings as the crypto sector gains more legitimacy. The survey notes that platforms like Revolut appear to be driving adoption.
An increase in use cases has also been identified, with 48%, 24%, and 22% of individuals adopting the assets for decentralized digital identity purposes, payments, and DeFi-related activities, respectively.
