Cryptocurrency ownership in the UK in 2020, by age

In 2020, 18-to 29-year olds in the United Kingdom were twice as likely to own a cryptocurrency than their counterparts aged 45 to 60 year old. The source does not mention specifically which digital coin this concerns - whether it is Bitcoin or an alternative like Ethereum, Ripple (XRP) or Dogecoin. It does mention, however, that the results shown in this particular survey - held in October 2020 - were "a sharp contrast" to a previous survey from a different source in December 2019: In absolute figures, the owners had changed from around 1.9 million UK adults in December 2019, to roughly 10.6 million seven months later. No information is available whether UK consumers continued to purchase cryptocurrencies during November or December 2020, or in early 2021. Note it was during this time that the price of Bitcoin started the climb towards a value of 60,000 U.S. dollars.
