Cryptocurrency owners in the United Kingdom (UK) - minus Northern Ireland - in 2021 overwhelmingly held Bitcoin (BTC), and likely combined this with other coins. In that sense, it is perhaps somewhat unsurprising to see Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin - three cryptocurrencies that hit the news often in 2021 - on top of this list. This is the same top three as when compared to the ownership of 14 different cryptocurrencies in the United States. Differences, however, are observed at the bottom part of the list: respondents from Great Britain tended to be more into cryptocurrencies closely related to Ethereum - such as Ripple (XRP), Polkadot (DOT) and especially Cardano (ADA). U.S. respondents, on the other hand, looked more into Stellar (XLM) or the Basic Attention Token (BAT).
