UK crypto investors declared £1.38B in gains, but half came from just 240 people

UK crypto investors reported £1.38 billion in gains, according to the first crypto gains table covering 17,600 taxpayers. The distribution was highly concentrated: 240 people accounted for half of the total gains declared. The figures provide an initial view of reported crypto gains among UK taxpayers, while broader information gathering is still ahead. Data collected under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) will begin reaching the agency in 2027. The disclosure was reported by CryptoSlate. The figures relate to taxpayer declarations and do not represent the full CARF reporting dataset, which has not yet begun arriving. The table’s release gives market participants a snapshot of the scale and concentration of declared crypto gains in the UK.
