Several crypto wallets are popular in the United Kingdom, with Coinbase, Binance, and Crypto.com being downloaded the most. This according to estimates based on the downloads of 25 different apps that focus on digital assets since 2015 - and who attracted the highest average amount of downloads per day since the initial release of the app. The UK stands out from other countries in that downloads in January 2022 were almost as high as in November 2021 - when mainstream audiences were introduced to the metaverse for the first time. No new app release is specifically connected to this but instead it may be connected to an overall interest in stablecoins and cryptocurrency during that specific month.

Supplementary notes
Numbers have been gathered and sorted by Statista, based on the number of downloads per day since the app's initial release date. This to account for crypto wallets that appeared from 2020 onwards and became popular overnight - which would not reveal themselves when sorting via a metric that measures "lifetime" downloads.
The numbers provided do not include decentralized exchanges such as UniSwap, certain blockchain games like Axie Infinity, NFT collections such as Bored Ape Yacht Club or decentralized metaverses like Decentraland, as all of these are not available in the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store.
