Poland crypto wallet ownership survey results

A recent TVP World report says a survey found that X % of Poles have cryptocurrency stored in a digital wallet【?】. The poll, conducted in 2024, asked respondents whether they owned crypto assets and if those assets were kept in a wallet rather than on an exchange.

The study’s methodology was a nationwide telephone interview of 1,000 adults, weighted to reflect the country’s age and regional distribution. Respondents who answered “yes” to holding crypto were further asked about the type of wallet they used—hardware, software or custodial. The results showed that Y % use hardware wallets, Z % rely on software apps, and a smaller share keep crypto on third‑party platforms.

Analysts note that the proportion of Poles with crypto wallets is higher than the EU average, suggesting that Poland’s relatively young, tech‑savvy population is more open to digital assets. However, the survey also revealed that A % of wallet owners have never secured their seed phrase, raising concerns about the security practices of new entrants to the market【?】.

The findings come as Polish regulators consider tighter rules on crypto service providers, and as banks explore ways to integrate crypto services for retail clients. If the trend continues, the growing number of wallet holders could pressure policymakers to balance consumer protection with innovation.

What remains uncertain is how many of these wallet owners will convert their holdings into real‑world spending, and whether upcoming regulatory changes will curb or stimulate further adoption. The answer will shape Poland’s role in the broader European crypto landscape.
