Prior +0.1%GDP +1.0% vs +1.2% y/y expectedPrior +1.3%; revised to +1.2%The headline figure might point to marginal growth on the quarter, but UK real GDP per capita is now down for two consecutive quarters. So, that is something to take note of.That being said, real GDP per capita is still estimated to have increased by 1.0% annually in 2025. That follows no growth in the year before that.As a whole in 2025, UK GDP is estimated to grow by 1.5% annually last year. That compares with the 1.1% growth in 2024.The release here comes alongside the December monthly report as seen below:December monthly GDP +0.1% vs +0.1% m/m expectedPrior +0.3%The details of the December economic snapshot:Services +0.3% vs +0.1% m/m expectedIndustrial output -0.9% vs 0.0% m/m expectedManufacturing output -0.5% vs 0.0% m/m expectedConstruction output -0.5% vs +0.5% m/m expectedIn the three months to December i.e. Q4 2025, the UK economy barely grew as services output was largely flattish on the quarter.

💡 DMK Insight
UK’s GDP growth is tepid, and here’s why that matters for traders: With ETH currently at $1,989.94, the marginal growth in GDP could signal a cautious market sentiment. The revision of GDP figures from +1.3% to +1.2% indicates that the economy isn’t as robust as initially thought. For crypto traders, this could mean a flight to safety, impacting risk assets like Ethereum. If the UK economy continues to show weakness, we might see increased volatility in crypto markets as investors reassess their risk exposure. Watch for ETH’s reaction around the $2,000 psychological level; a break below could trigger further selling pressure. Conversely, if the market perceives this GDP data as a reason for potential easing measures from the Bank of England, it could lead to a short-term rally. Keep an eye on correlated assets like Bitcoin, as they often move in tandem with Ethereum, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. The next few days will be crucial for gauging market sentiment and potential reversals in both crypto and traditional markets.
📮 Takeaway
Monitor ETH closely around the $2,000 level; a break could signal increased volatility as traders react to UK GDP data.
