According to Deep Tide TechFlow news on January 8, reported by Cryptonews, the latest research from the University of Pennsylvania shows that the cryptocurrency ownership rate among Republican supporters has reached 41%, significantly higher than the 32% among Democratic supporters. The study lasted two years and surveyed over 22,000 Americans. The survey found that cryptocurrency adoption is highest in southeastern regions like Texas, while interest is relatively lower in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest.
Wharton School professor David Reibstein stated that the preference for cryptocurrency among Republican supporters mainly stems from its decentralized nature, which aligns with the party's pursuit of limiting government power and promoting individual autonomy. From a demographic perspective, millennials aged 25-44 are the primary group investing in cryptocurrency, followed by Generation X and younger baby boomers, with men holding at a rate twice that of women.
Research also shows that 54% of respondents are willing to use cryptocurrency for online shopping, but only 7% are willing to accept cryptocurrency as salary.
