A recent survey by The Harris Poll for Grayscale Investments reveals that 73% of polled Americans believe U.S. presidential candidates should be well-informed about innovative technologies, including cryptocurrency.
Conducted online from Nov. 27-29, the survey of 1,759 adults highlights the growing relevance of crypto in the 2024 elections. With 26% citing inflation as the country’s top concern, 40% of those familiar with crypto express increased interest in owning Bitcoin amid economic uncertainties.
Grayscale suggests that broader education is needed for mainstream adoption. Younger voters, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, view crypto and blockchain as the future of finance, with 40% planning to include crypto in their future portfolios.
However, 46% are waiting for additional regulatory policies. As the campaign trail sees increased focus on crypto, candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have presented their crypto plans.
