1133 GMT - Adoption of cryptocurrencies rose in the U.S. March but fell slightly in the U.K. and remained steady in Europe, according to a Deutsche Bank survey. U.S. adoption rates rose to 12% in March from a trough in February of 7%. This aligned with bitcoin's recovery and return of inflows into institutional bitcoin exchange-traded funds in March. The U.K.'s rate of adoption fell to 9% in March while Europe's remained at 7%. Higher-earning male consumers continued to lead crypto adoption. The adoption rate between 18- to 34-year olds and 35-54 year olds remained evenly distributed. Bitcoin was the most held cryptocurrency, with about 70% ownership across all regions. Consumers broadly expect bitcoin to fall below current levels. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
