Survey Finds 50% of US Voters Support Pro-Crypto Policies, With Both Parties Competing for Crypto Owners
A recent survey by Consensys and HarrisX reveals that 50% of U.S. voters back pro-crypto policies, with an overwhelming 85% of crypto owners considering it a key issue when voting. Among these crypto owners, 92% indicated they are likely to vote, making them a potentially influential group in the upcoming elections.
The survey shows Republicans are perceived as slightly more crypto-friendly, but Democrats are gaining more cross-party support, leaving neither party with a clear advantage in attracting pro-crypto voters. Swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin could be crucial battlegrounds, as they lean slightly Republican in setting crypto policies. However, in states like Texas, Democrats benefit from broader support due to their perceived openness to crypto regulation.
Voters expressed concerns about the lack of clarity in crypto regulations. While 56% support Donald Trump’s policies, 55% back Kamala Harris, reflecting how closely divided the issue is. However, 54% of respondents believe Harris needs to clarify her position on crypto regulation, especially in tight swing states where even small shifts in support could be decisive.
Dritan Nesho, CEO of HarrisX, highlighted the potential impact of crypto voters, noting that in key swing states, the number of crypto-motivated voters now exceeds the margin of victory in previous elections. While states like Texas show a clear Republican advantage, other battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan see Democratic candidates benefiting from pro-crypto policies that appeal across party lines.
Consensys CEO Joe Lubin emphasized that the crypto community is not against regulation but wants clearer, balanced rules. “The results show that crypto is a bipartisan issue. Voters want a supportive regulatory framework,” Lubin said.
The survey suggests that while crypto is seen as crucial to the country’s economic future, many voters feel the government has not provided enough regulatory clarity. This presents an opportunity for either party to win over this growing group by establishing firm, supportive crypto policies.
