A quarter of British adults are open to including crypto in their retirement plans, potentially impacting the UK’s $5.12 trillion pension fund market. Aviva’s survey of 2,000 UK adults found 27% are open to crypto in their retirement funds, with 23% considering withdrawing existing pensions to invest in crypto.

Around 20% of UK adults, equivalent to 11.6 million people, have dabbled in crypto, with one-fifth of adults aged 25-34 already withdrawing pension funds for crypto investments.
