On 5 July, the Crypto Potato website said that according to the FCA up to 2.6 million people in the UK, 3.86% of the general population, hold cryptocurrencies. However, 75% of consumers who own cryptocurrencies hold under £1,000. Looking closer, it seems that 79% are male and 69% over 35, and that most holders appear to have the cryptocurrencies as a form of gambling.
