Atlas21 (Newsroom)Over 25% of UK adults are considering investing in cryptocurrencies for their retirement.
A survey conducted by insurance company Aviva revealed that a portion of the British population is rethinking traditional pension strategies. The poll, which involved 2,000 UK adults, showed that 27% of respondents are in favor of integrating digital assets into their long-term investment portfolios.
This trend suggests a shift in the UK pension sector, with potential implications for a £3.8 trillion ($5.12 trillion) market. The research highlights that more than 40% of those open to crypto investments are motivated by the potential for higher returns offered by this asset class.
One key finding concerns Britons’ willingness to adjust existing pension plans. About 23% of respondents said they would be willing to partially or fully withdraw their pension funds to invest in digital assets.
The phenomenon is particularly visible among young adults: nearly one in five respondents aged 25 to 34 have already withdrawn funds from their pensions to allocate capital into digital assets.
Despite growing interest, Britons remain aware of the associated risks. 41% of respondents identified security threats—including hacking and phishing—as their main concern. Meanwhile, 37% pointed to the lack of regulation and investor protection as the second major risk factor. The volatility of cryptocurrencies was cited by 30% of respondents as the third leading concern.
