Wealthy Investors in Key Markets Set for Crypto Boom in 2026

A significant majority of affluent investors in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany are planning to expand their digital asset holdings by 2026. Nearly 70% of surveyed investors in these three markets already hold cryptocurrencies, with 91% of them intending to increase their exposure over the next three years.

The survey, which included 2,230 investors across seven markets, revealed varying levels of digital asset ownership. Ownership rates ranged from 54% to 70% among the surveyed countries, which also included France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland.

In five of the seven markets, at least 85% of current digital asset holders planned to add more exposure. The exceptions were Switzerland, where the share was 78%, and Sweden, with 71%. The data suggests a strong upward trend in crypto investment among high-net-worth individuals in these regions.
