Crypto Is A Major Election Issue For 20% Of Voters: DCG Survey

Crypto is emerging as a hot topic in the U.S. presidential election this year, with many voters looking forward to hearing their candidates takes on the asset class.

  • Per a Digital Currency Group (DCG) survey of 1201 registered voters conducted last month, about one in five voters view crypto as a major issue in the 2024 election.
  • Roughly 40% of voters said they want their candidates to talk more about crypto, with most respondents agreeing that crypto regulation needed an “overhaul.”
  • The interest is even though only 14% of voters said they have crypto exposure, and 69% said they don’t yet feel knowledgeable about the asset class.
  • “Most voters do not trust elected officials to understand innovative technology like crypto, and more than half are concerned about policymakers stifling innovation via overregulation,” DCG’s report stated.
  • Policymakers are currently in a partisan political deadlock over crypto. Democrats want strict industry rules to protect consumers like those in the existing banking system. By contrast, Republicans seek tailor-made regulations with a lighter touch to avoid driving the industry offshore.
  • Republican candidate Donald Trump has recently come out in support of the crypto industry, despite taking a hard-line stance against Bitcoin in the past.
  • Republicans passed a resolution in Congress this week to nullify SAB 121, a piece of accounting guidance backed by the Democrat-led White House preventing banks from providing crypto asset custody services.
  • DCG’s survey mentioned that 50% of respondents said they’d be more likely to buy crypto if it was offered by an established, regulated firm.
  • The survey’s respondents included voters in swing states, including n Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Arizona
