Blockchain advocates argue that being anti-crypto today is like being anti-internet in the '90s—resisting inevitable technological disruption. In the 2024 US presidential election, a candidate's stance on cryptocurrency could significantly impact voter support. Perianne Boring, CEO of The Digital Chamber, highlighted in a recent webinar that 25% of Democrats and 21% of Republicans are more likely to vote for pro-crypto candidates.

Interestingly, only a small fraction of voters would be deterred by a candidate's positive stance on crypto. This makes supporting cryptocurrency a low-risk, high-reward position for politicians.

Samir Kerbage of Hashdex predicts a more favorable policy environment for digital assets in the next four years, though regulatory clarity will take time. The SEC's current enforcement approach has driven many crypto firms away from the US. Boring emphasized that clear guidelines distinguishing the SEC's and CFTC's roles could resolve 70% of regulatory issues, fostering business growth.
