🇬🇧 Liverpool Is the UK’s Crypto Capital — And It’s Not Even Close

Move over, London. The new heartbeat of British crypto lives in the north. According to a fresh Openreach report, Liverpool leads the UK in crypto activity — and the numbers don’t lie.

📊 13% of Liverpudlians Are Active Crypto Investors

That’s right: 13% of Liverpool’s population is actively investing in crypto — more than any other city in the UK.

💰 They also check their portfolios more often than Londoners or Mancunians. 📈 The city’s retail interest in digital assets is off the charts.

This isn’t just a trend. It’s a movement.
