A new survey sponsored by Paradigm shows that Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Trump has gained increasing support within his party after recently expressing favorable views toward crypto assets.
Last month, Paradigm, a venture capital firm focused on crypto assets, surveyed 1,025 likely Republican voters to understand their perspectives on this emerging industry, finding strong trust in the current financial system and significant support for Trump.
The survey revealed that approximately 13% of Republicans who previously said they would not vote for Trump now indicated they are more likely to do so due to his pro-crypto stance. Another group of respondents also reported increased enthusiasm for voting for the former president.
Trump has adopted a more favorable position on crypto assets and pledged his support for the industry.
During his campaign, Trump vowed to make the United States a "superpower" in BTC mining and stated that crypto assets might serve as the "last line of defense" against central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Meanwhile, a majority of respondents believe that crypto assets are an important force in the U.S. economy.
As such, 40% of respondents suggested that the U.S. government should pave the way for American companies to develop products like stablecoins to compete with China's central bank digital currency (digital yuan).
Additionally, about 60% of respondents said Congress should pass legislation to provide clear regulatory frameworks for the crypto asset industry.
Moreover, 40% of respondents believe crypto regulation should be overseen by elected representatives, rather than unelected officials appointed by government agencies such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The poll also highlighted Republican engagement with crypto assets. Since March 2024, the proportion of Republicans who have owned or purchased crypto assets has risen from a national average of 19% to 28%.
Among these individuals, 87% plan to purchase more crypto assets within the next year, while the remaining 13% intend to buy crypto assets for the first time within the next 12 months.
Many respondents cited distrust in the financial system as one reason for entering the crypto space.
The report noted: "72% of Republican voters are at least somewhat concerned they could lose access to financial services due to their political or religious beliefs."
