CoinShares Survey: Digital Assets Now Held by a Majority of Affluent Investors in Seven Major Markets

Across the US and six European markets, average allocations cluster around 10% of portfolios, February's downturn made investors more likely to invest — not less — and policy signals enjoy a positive reaction

JERSEY, Channel Islands — Monday, 5, October — CoinShares PLC (Nasdaq: CSHR) ("CoinShares" or the "Company"), a leading global asset manager specialising in digital assets, today published the CoinShares Affluent Investor Crypto Report, a survey of 2,230 affluent investors across the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland, conducted with the strategic research consultancy Vardaxoglou Advisory. CoinShares believes it is one of the largest such surveys ever dedicated to digital assets. A majority holds digital assets in every market, from 54% in Sweden to around 70% in the US, UK, Germany, and Switzerland. The February 2026 downturn — the sharpest in several years — left more investors more likely to invest than less in all seven markets.
