The analysis quoted in Tuesday's edition of “Puls Biznesu” shows that 6.4% of people declared that they had cryptocurrencies. inhabitants of Poland. The authors of the study note that with a probability of 95 percent, the actual percentage of owners of such assets ranges from 5 to 8.1 percent. adult population.

Differences in the estimates of the National Bank of Poland and other researchers
The data presented by the central bank differ significantly from previous estimates. “Puls Biznesu” reminds that a study by USE Research and Ari10 published a year ago indicated that over 18 percent Poles had cryptocurrency assets in their wallets. The difference between these results is almost threefold.
The survey was commissioned by the National Bank of Poland and carried out by IPSOS, and 1,000 people took part in the survey. respondents. Among them, 0.9 percent admitted that it has stablecoin units, i.e. cryptoassets, which, according to the authors of the report, “potentially have the most features in common with payment instruments.”
Bitcoin is a leader among Polish investors
The most popular cryptocurrency in Poland remains bitcoin (BTC), which was declared by 3.5 percent of people. study participants. Ether (ETH) has 2.2%. respondents, and 3.1 percent respondents indicated that they had other digital assets in their wallet. The results show that the market remains dominated by the most recognizable projects.
The profile of a typical crypto-asset holder is in line with the trends observed in other European countries. “Cryptoassets are held relatively more often by men than women and by younger people than by older people. This distribution of owners is consistent with the results of research on the possession of cryptoassets by natural persons in other EU countries,” the daily quotes the NBP.
