Ukraine is among the top 10 countries with the highest interest in bitcoin

Analysts from CoinGecko have conducted a study and named the countries most interested in popularizing bitcoin. The rating of European countries is headed by the United Kingdom, as the residents of Foggy Albion show the greatest interest in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. In turn, Ukraine entered the top 10, ranking ninth.

According to the study, the UK accounts for 44.6% of the total public interest in digital assets. At the same time, all EU countries account for 44.8%. According to the results of a survey conducted by CoinGecko in 2022, the UK was ranked fifth, so analysts noted the growing relevance of cryptocurrencies and digital investments in the country.

As for Ukraine, our country was ranked third last year in the ranking of cryptocurrency acceptance by the population. According to Tripple A, a research company, the percentage of Ukrainians owning digital assets increased by more than 2% last year. Thus, as of the beginning of 2022, 15.72% of the population, or 6 million people, owned cryptocurrency.

During Russia’s full-scale invasion and military aggression against Ukraine, society has come to appreciate the greatest advantage of cryptocurrency transfers: they can be made at any time and anywhere in the world. In the first three months of the war alone, Ukraine received $ 125 million in cryptocurrency aid, and it continues to flow.

As for the other European countries that CoinGecko has identified, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, France, Slovenia, Romania, Spain, and the terrorist state of Russia are actively interested in crypto assets. They accounted for 34.9% of the continent’s cryptocurrency interest in the period from January 1 to July 9, 2023.
