A recent Emerson College <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/december-2024-national-poll-young-voters-diverge-from-majority-on-crypto-tiktok-and-ceo-assassination/">survey</a> highlights the growing influence of crypto users in U.S. politics. Conducted between December 11 and 13, the survey of 1,000 registered voters revealed that 19% had either invested in, traded, or used cryptocurrency. 
Notably, nearly 40% of these respondents reported using digital assets for purchases, reflecting its increasing utility.

Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College polling, noted the demographic diversity of digital asset users. “Crypto users are younger and represent a more diverse constituency, making them a growing political force,” Kimball noted. The poll found that 57% of these users hold a favorable view of President-elect Donald Trump, who has shown staunch support for the industry. 
The survey also underscored a generational divide: 28% of voters in their 40s reported using digital assets, compared to just 9% of those in their 60s and only 4% over the age of 70. Men were twice as likely as women to engage with digital assets, with 26% of male respondents versus 13% of female respondents acknowledging their use. Ethnically, a third of crypto users identified as Asian, Hispanic, or Black, while only 14% were white.

The pro-crypto sentiment isn’t confined to the voter base. Trump’s administration has already signaled its support for the sector, with <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/robinhood-ceo-comments-on-bitcoin-and-new-sec-chair-pick/">key nominations of pro-crypto figures</a> for financial regulatory roles, including the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
This aligns with findings from a survey conducted by the Digital Chamber, which identified a “crypto voting bloc” of 26 million U.S. voters who prioritize digital asset-friendly policies. The study revealed that 16% of respondents considered crypto policy “extremely” or “very” important when choosing a political candidate. 
Further data from Grayscale and a market research firm suggested that over half of U.S. voters would favor digital asset-friendly candidates. This sentiment was reflected in the 2024 election results, where hundreds of pro-crypto candidates secured congressional seats. Industry leaders now <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/why-trumps-pro-crypto-stance-could-make-ethereum-investors-millionaires/">anticipate a regulatory environment more favorable</a> than ever before, potentially cementing the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/eric-trump-envisions-a-crypto-led-future-calls-for-u-s-leadership-in-innovation/">U.S. as a global leader in digital assets</a>.
