Crypto Most Popular in Liverpool, Online Study Suggests
The Guardian
|June 16, 2025
The city's most famous sons may once have sung that money can't buy you love, but that was before bitcoin existed.
Liverpool has emerged as the crypto capital of the UK, according to a study looking at the online habits of people across the country.
The research, conducted by the telecommunications company Openreach, shows that 13% of Liverpool residents regularly invest in cryptocurrency and check stocks, more than anywhere else in Britain.
Different cities across the UK proved to be hotspots for various activities. London was found to be the online dating capital of Britain, the study says, with 24% of respondents engaging with dating apps on at least three days a week.
This contrasts with the country in general, with the study finding that only 4% of British people say they spend time on dating apps, and just 25% saying they had used them in the past 12 months.
