 According to the results of a new survey, cryptocurrency will significantly influence voters’ choice of candidates in the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election. 
</div> 
The<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://digitalchamber.org/vote/"> survey, which was cond</a>ucted by The Digital Chamber, a crypto trade association, revealed that one in seven respondents indicated that cryptocurrency would be a crucial factor in their voting decision, with many rating it as “extremely” or “very” important. 
The survey found that 16% of the 1,004 respondents—dubbed the “Crypto Voting Bloc”—are inclined to support candidates who advocate for pro-crypto policies. This bloc is estimated to represent around 26 million voters, spanning both Republican and Democratic affiliations. 
Notably, 25% of Democrats and 21% of Republicans acknowledged that a candidate’s stance on cryptocurrency could increase their likelihood of voting for them. This indicates that pro-crypto candidates could gain a meaningful advantage in the election. 
The survey also revealed that two in five Black voters said a candidate’s position on cryptocurrency would significantly influence their vote, a figure more than double that of white voters. This highlights the importance of crypto in shaping voting behaviour across different demographic groups. 
While public opinion on crypto remains divided—with 46% of respondents feeling neutral—a majority from both political parties agree that cryptocurrency should be a medium-to-high priority for the next president and Congress. 
Perianne Boring, Founder and CEO of the Digital Chamber,<a href="https://digitalchamber.org/national-poll-reveals-cryptos-growing-influence-on-2024-voter-decisions/"> stressed</a> that these results are a wake-up call for policymakers. “Voters are sending a clear message—they want smart, balanced regulation that protects consumers without stifling innovation,” Boring stated, adding that a pro-crypto stance presents a powerful opportunity for candidates to connect with this growing voter base. 
Meanwhile, as the election approaches, the two major candidates have shared their stances on cryptocurrency. Current Vice President and Democrat party flagbearer Kamala Harris<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/09/kamala-harris-breaks-silence-on-crypto-pledging-to-support-digital-assets-and-ai-innovation/"> made her first public remarks on crypto</a> at a Wall Street fundraiser in September 2024, pledging to support AI and digital asset investments while ensuring consumer protection. 
On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/05/trump-vows-to-make-u-s-a-global-crypto-leader-at-2024-libertarian-national-convention/"> promised</a> at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention to make the U.S. a global leader in cryptocurrency. Trump vowed to reverse President Joe Biden’s policies, which he described as a “crusade to crush crypto,” and to keep the future of digital currencies like Bitcoin rooted in the U.S.
