According to CoinDesk, former President Donald Trump's recent support for cryptocurrencies may win the support of some hesitant Republican voters as he seeks to return to the White House in November, according to an industry-sponsored poll released on Wednesday. The poll, paid for by crypto investment company Paradigm, showed that Trump's positive remarks on the US crypto industry have caught the attention of some voters. The survey results show that 13% of those who originally did not intend to vote for him have a more positive view of him because of his crypto stance. Most respondents (60%) believe that Congress needs to make regulations for crypto businesses, and Republicans generally do not like the way the current financial system works. The survey also showed that more than a quarter of Republicans (28%) have been involved in cryptocurrency ownership, and this participation is biased towards young, male and non-white people. Almost all respondents (94%) believe that their personal financial records should be kept private, and 68% of those familiar with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) oppose US adoption.
