TechFlow news — On September 30, according to CoinDesk, a new public opinion survey commissioned by Grayscale and conducted by Harris Poll highlights the growing significance of cryptocurrency in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The findings show that 77% of likely voters believe presidential candidates should understand innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, while 56% of voters are more inclined to support candidates who prioritize crypto-related issues. Currently, 21% of respondents hold cryptocurrency investments, primarily Bitcoin.
A separate analysis report released by Coinbase indicates that in seven key swing states, the number of cryptocurrency investors is 16 times greater than the vote margin from the 2020 election, potentially making them a pivotal force influencing electoral outcomes. The report also reveals that cryptocurrency holders tend to be younger and racially diverse, with 70% earning less than $100,000 annually. Currently, these voters are evenly split between Trump and Harris, though they lean slightly toward Democrats or independents.
