๐Ÿš€Buckle up, Bitcoin enthusiasts! A recent Harris Poll survey reveals a surge in voter interest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The survey, funded by Bitcoin ETF issuer Grayscale, shows that one in three U.S. voters will consider a political candidate's stance on cryptocurrencies before casting their vote. ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ

๐Ÿ“ˆThe poll, which gathered responses from over 1,700 likely U.S. voters, found that 77% believe U.S. presidential candidates should at least have an "informed perspective" on cryptocurrencies. It also found that 41% of voters are paying closer attention to Bitcoin due to geopolitical tensions, inflation, and a weakening U.S. dollar, up from 34% in November 2023. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐Ÿ”ฅIn addition, 47% of respondents expect to include crypto in their investment portfolios, up from 40% the previous year. Events such as the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF approval in January 2024 and the halving in April 2024 have heightened voter interest in investing in BTC and other crypto assets. ๐Ÿ“Š

๐Ÿ‘€Grayscale highlighted BTC's strong performance in 2024, with its price reaching a new all-time high on March 13. This sparked speculation that the upcoming election could be dubbed "the Bitcoin Election." The survey also revealed that voters increasingly view crypto as a good long-term investment opportunity. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ“œThe survey found that 52% of voters would be more likely to invest in crypto with clearer policies, up from 48% in November 2023. A significant majority (79%) agreed that political leaders should work towards creating frameworks and rules that enable financial inclusion and investor protection. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ
