Survey reveals 26 million US voters prioritise pro-crypto candidates

A new survey by The Digital Chamber indicates that roughly 26 million U.S. voters consider a candidate’s stance on cryptocurrency a significant factor in the upcoming 2024 elections. 

According to the survey, 16% of the 1,004 respondents said crypto policy was “extremely” or “very” important in deciding their vote, with a notable portion identifying as part of what is now called the “crypto voting bloc.” 

Perianne Boring, CEO of The Digital Chamber, emphasised the potential influence of this bloc, stating, “This should be a wake-up call for policymakers. Voters want smart, balanced regulation that protects consumers without stifling innovation.” 

She suggested that in a close race, like the one predicted for the 2024 U.S. elections, this bloc could “tip the balance.”

The survey revealed that support for pro-crypto candidates spans both political parties, with 25% of Democrats and 21% of Republicans stating that a candidate’s crypto stance would influence their vote. 

Interestingly, two in five Black voters ranked crypto policies as a significant factor, showing demographic differences in how the issue resonates across the electorate.

While crypto is gaining traction as a political issue, broader concerns like the economy, healthcare, and Supreme Court appointments remain the top priorities for voters, according to a Pew Research report. 

The survey showed that 81% of voters identified economic policy as their main issue.

As the 2024 election approaches, the role of cryptocurrency in shaping voter preferences is growing. 

The crypto voting bloc, especially in battleground states, could be decisive in key races.
