Candidates' Positions on Crypto Assets Become an Important Factor for US Voters

According to a recent survey conducted by Harris Poll and commissioned by investment firm Grayscale, more than a third of American voters will consider candidates' positions on cryptocurrencies when voting. The study, which surveyed 1,700 people, found that 33% of US voters consider candidates' views on digital assets to be an important factor in their decision.

In addition, 77% of respondents believe that presidential candidates should have an “informed view” regarding the cryptocurrency sector. This highlights the growing importance of cryptocurrencies on the political agenda. Despite this, survey participants did not reach a consensus on which political party is the leader on digital assets, which indicates an equal distribution of opinions among voters.

The study also found that only 2% of respondents had not heard of Bitcoin, while 17% had already invested in the first cryptocurrency. Familiarity with other digital assets is also high, with 46% of respondents reporting awareness of Ethereum. Moreover, 24% of survey participants believe that the approval of cryptocurrency-based ETFs will make it more accessible for investment.

The report also highlights that 44% of respondents believe that cryptocurrencies and blockchain are the future of finance. At the same time, 52% expressed their readiness to invest in crypto assets, subject to increased regulation of this area. This shows that voters see the potential of cryptocurrencies, but also want to see clearer and stricter regulatory frameworks to ensure the safety of their investments.

Previously, a report from the Digital Currency Group holding company indicated that more than 20% of US voters consider the cryptocurrency sector an important issue in the upcoming presidential election. This fact confirms the growing influence of cryptocurrency on the political agenda and highlights the need for candidates to take into account the views and interests of voters on this issue.

The growing importance of cryptocurrencies in US political debates and elections reflects a change in public attitudes towards digital assets. With an increasing number of investors and increased awareness of cryptocurrencies, presidential candidates are forced to take positions on the issue in order to attract the attention of voters. In the coming years, we can expect the topic of cryptocurrencies to become even more relevant and play a key role on the political agenda.
