A new Harris Poll, funded by Grayscale, reveals that 56% of American voters are more likely to support a presidential candidate knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. The survey, which included over 1,800 likely voters, shows that 40% now consider candidates' stances on Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets, up from 34% in December 2023.
Key findings:
- Crypto is a nonpartisan issue: 45% of crypto owners favor Democrats, 42% favor Republicans.
- Interest in crypto surged with the launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs.
- Nearly a third (30%) of voters are more interested in crypto investing due to these ETFs.
- Hispanic and Black voters show higher interest in Bitcoin (63% and 68%) compared to White voters (35%).
Coinbase's survey by Morning Consult also highlights a split in the crypto community's political preferences: 47% support Kamala Harris, 47% back Donald Trump. This challenges the notion that crypto owners lean heavily Republican.
Crypto voters, especially in swing states, could be pivotal in the 2024 election. Both Trump and Harris are adjusting their crypto stances to appeal to this key demographic.
