Poll shows crypto owners split between Harris and Trump

IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, CRYPTOCURRENCY OWNERS ARE PROVING TO BE A CRITICAL VOTING BLOC, AND THEY’RE EVENLY SPLIT BETWEEN BOTH CANDIDATES.

NEW POLLING FROM MORNING CONSULT, CONDUCTED FOR COINBASE, SHOWS THAT 47-PERCENT OF U-S CRYPTO OWNERS PLAN TO VOTE FOR VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS, WHILE AN EQUAL 47-PERCENT SUPPORT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

THE U-S HAS 52 MILLION ADULTS WHO OWN CRYPTOCURRENCY. ABOUT 6-POINT-5 MILLION LIVE IN THE KEY SWING STATES, ARIZONA, GEORGIA, MICHIGAN, NORTH CAROLINA, NEVADA, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN… MAKING THEM A GROUP BOTH CANDIDATES ARE EAGER TO COURT.

95-PERCENT OF CRYPTO OWNERS SAY THEY PLAN TO VOTE THIS NOVEMBER. THREE-QUARTERS OF THEM ALSO BELIEVE THE U-S SHOULD REMAIN A LEADER IN DIGITAL ASSETS.

TRUMP, WHO ONCE CALLED CRYPTO A ‘SCAM,’ HAS EMBRACED THE INDUSTRY OVER THE YEARS, VOWING TO MAKE THE U-S THE ‘CRYPTO CAPITAL OF THE PLANET’ IF RE-ELECTED. HE ALSO LAUNCHED THE CRYPTO PROJECT WORLD LIBERTY FINANCIAL WITH HIS SONS… IN ADDITION TO VARIOUS TRUMP DIGITAL TRADING CARD COLLECTIONS.

HARRIS, WHILE MORE CAUTIOUS… RECENTLY VOICED SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES LIKE DIGITAL ASSETS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, WHILE EMPHASIZING A NEED TO PROTECT CONSUMERS AND INVESTORS. HER STANCE DIFFERS FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S MORE SKEPTICAL APPROACH UNDER S-E-C CHAIR GARY GENSLER.

THE CRYPTO INDUSTRY HAS SPENT OVER 100-MILLION ON THE 2024 ELECTION THUS FAR… MANY TIMES MORE THAN ANY PAST POLITICAL EVENTS. AS DIGITAL CURRENCIES BECOME MORE MAINSTREAM… CRYPTO POLICY WILL DEMAND MORE ATTENTION FROM WASHINGTON.
