2025 Predicted As Key Year For Cryptocurrency Adoption In The UK

According to Odaily, Kraken's UK Managing Director, Bivu Das, has forecasted that 2025 will be a pivotal year for cryptocurrency adoption. Das anticipates that the number of UK residents who have used or are currently using digital assets will exceed 17 million, representing approximately 25% of the country's total population. He suggests that the volatility of established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin will decrease, even as their prices continue to rise due to increasing institutional demand. Das also predicts a growing interest among UK workers in pursuing careers within the cryptocurrency industry. In response to this trend, universities are expected to introduce specialized courses in cryptocurrency to nurture the next generation of talent. Furthermore, Das highlights a significant development in the financial sector, noting that UK pension funds are allocating 3% of their portfolios to Bitcoin for the first time. This move signals that London's financial district is poised to embrace digital assets, setting the stage for broader acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies in the UK's financial landscape.
