Young British investors are twice as likely to buy cryptocurrencies, according to new research.

51 percent of investors aged between 18 and 37 traded or owned cryptocurrencies, that’s double the number of those buying or holding stocks.

That’s compared to a mere eight percent of investors aged over 55 aged who trade cryptocurrencies.

It comes as Bitcoin hit a record of almost $65,000 last week but has pulled back more than 16% since.
