The 2024 US presidential election is shaping up to be a battleground for crypto voters, a growing group with a significant impact on policy decisions.
Crypto Voters Are Ready to Make Their Voices Heard
A recent survey reveals that 92% of crypto owners plan to vote in the upcoming election. This shows the influence this group can have on the future of crypto regulation.
Trump vs. Harris: A Crypto Showdown?

- Trump’s Popularity: 56% of respondents are enthusiastic about Trump’s support for crypto, while only 54% believe Kamala Harris has a clear stance on the issue.
- Harris’s Promise: Harris has recently promised to promote growth in tech sectors, including AI and digital assets, if elected. However, this hasn’t been enough to sway voters towards her.
- Crossing Party Lines: 40% of voters are open to voting for a candidate outside their usual party if that candidate supports pro-crypto policies.
