Fact Check
Source 6, a news article, directly supports the statement by citing an Aviva survey that found '27% of UK adults consider crypto for retirement'. While this is a single, secondary source, it specifically attributes the claim to a credible company (Aviva). Other sources provide context on the topic of crypto and retirement in the UK but do not corroborate this specific percentage.
