The Impact of Crypto Voters on the US Presidential Election

The upcoming November presidential election in the United States is rapidly approaching, with cryptocurrency emerging as a hotly debated topic among candidates and voters. A recent study by Coinbase, published on July 11, highlighted the significant influence of crypto voters in key races, especially in the seven battleground states. The study revealed that crypto voters are predominantly younger and more diverse, with Gen Z and Millennials constituting 65% of registered voters who own cryptocurrency. These voters are actively engaged in the political process, with a high likelihood of participating in the election. They show a strong preference for pro-crypto candidates and exhibit bipartisan tendencies. Various initiatives, such as Stand With Crypto and the Bitcoin Voter Project, have emerged to mobilize and influence crypto voters. Both major party candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, have faced scrutiny over their stances on cryptocurrency, with some leveraging crypto to sway election outcomes. Overall, crypto voters seek candidates who support the industry and embrace innovative, pro-crypto policies.
