The cryptocurrency-focused media outlet Cointelegraph reported that on the 17th (local time), a survey was conducted with 1,000 U.S. voters from December 11 to December 13. Astonishingly, one in five voters in the United States has used or invested in cryptocurrency. This indicates a significant portion of the electorate with an interest in this digital asset.
Specifically, among those who responded 'yes' to the relevant question, 40% had actually used cryptocurrency, while 60% had only invested in it. This shows a diverse range of involvement within the cryptocurrency space among U.S. voters.
Spencer Kimball, the Executive Director of Polling at Emerson College, pointed out that cryptocurrency users tend to be younger and more minor. This highlights a particular demographic that is actively engaging with cryptocurrency, potentially shaping its future trajectory.
It also emphasizes the need to understand the preferences and behaviors of this younger demographic when it comes to political and financial matters related to cryptocurrency.
The survey reveals that cryptocurrency is growing as a political factor in the U.S. In particular, 57% of those who have used or invested in cryptocurrency hold a favorable view of Donald Trump. This connection between cryptocurrency and political preferences showcases the potential influence that this digital asset can have on the political landscape.
It raises questions about how cryptocurrency will continue to play a role in shaping political opinions and decisions in the future.
