Ukrainians turn to crypto more than to startups or bonds

A new Ipsos survey commissioned by WhiteBIT shows that 44 % of Ukrainians with savings now see crypto as a way to grow money — ahead of starting a business (32 %) or buying government bonds (27 %).

The poll, run in June-July 2026 among 650 adults in cities over 100 000 people, found that 14 % already hold crypto and awareness rose to 32 % from 28 % last year.

Cash in hryvnia (78 %), foreign currency (69 %) and bank deposits remain the core of most portfolios. At the same time the share of people earning passive investment income climbed to 41 %.

WhiteBIT says digital assets have become a visible part of the investment mix, even as traditional options keep the lead.
