One in Four Brits Open to Crypto in Retirement Plans, Survey Shows
Nearly 27% of UK adults WOULD consider including cryptocurrencies in their retirement portfolios, according to a survey by Aviva. The potential for higher returns compared to traditional pension assets drives interest, with 40% of respondents citing this as the primary appeal.
Almost a quarter of those surveyed would withdraw pension funds to invest directly in digital assets. The UK pension market, valued at £3.8 trillion, could see significant capital flow into crypto if allocations shift even modestly.
Regulated crypto-linked pension options remain scarce, with security, volatility, and regulatory clarity cited as major concerns. Experts emphasize that pensions still offer unique long-term benefits despite the growing appetite for alternative assets.
