Crypto addiction: The reality behind the seemingly glamorous social media currency| ITV News

While social media portrays crypto investment as a world of fast money, super cars and luxury, for some people it represents huge financial and personal losses.

Crypto is a digital form of currency, which people can invest in and exchange, but it is not regulated or maintained by banks or the government.

Around 10% of adults in the UK own crypto assets - that's more than double the number in 2021.

But with more people investing, the number of people struggling with crypto addiction has risen too.

ITV News gained exclusive access to the UK's first crypto addiction rehabilitation centre, Castle Craig, which is nestled in the countryside in the Scottish borders.
