Summary
Adan's 2026 European Crypto-Asset Barometer, produced with Ipsos and launched at a BCB Group co-hosted briefing, maps crypto adoption across six European countries. The study reveals a significant gap between awareness (93% of Europeans have heard of crypto) and actual ownership (only 16% in the UK). Notably, UK crypto ownership dropped from 19% to 16% year-on-year, contrary to broader adoption trends.
