According to a study by the BPCE group, 7.3% of French people hold cryptocurrencies, compared with 10.6% across the euro area, with an average holding of 9,000 euros per investor.

Adoption is recent, with 59% of holders having started investing less than two years ago, but 55% of French people still lack confidence in these assets.
