‘Crypto is a bipartisan issue’ among Republicans and Democrats: Survey

  • The survey shows rising voter interest and openness to crypto investment.
  • Balanced interest across parties highlights crypto’s significance.

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in political developments and their impact on the digital asset market, I find the recent Harris Poll survey results on voter interest in crypto investment truly intriguing. The survey’s findings suggest that there is a growing trend among voters to learn more about cryptocurrencies or even invest in them. This upward trend is further validated by an increasing number of voters viewing crypto as a favorable long-term investment and the growing anticipation of incorporating it into their portfolios.


With the US presidential elections of 2024 approaching, there’s growing excitement and anticipation. Cryptocurrency has become a recurring topic in political discussions among voters.

Grayscale commissioned Harris Poll to carry out a survey among 1,768 American adults regarding the 2024 U.S. Election during the period from April 30 to May 2.

According to Grayscale’s findings, Bitcoin‘s [BTC] significance grew in the wake of larger economic trends and its evolution into a more established financial asset.

Approximately one out of every three voters (around 32%) have expressed being more receptive to crypto investment education or even considering making investments themselves, since the start of the year.

As an analyst, I’ve noticed an intriguing development based on the recent survey results. There’s been a notable increase in the number of voters regarding cryptocurrency as a promising long-term investment. Specifically, this percentage has risen from 19% last November to currently stand at 23%.

Further discussing the impact of Bitcoin ETF, the report elaborated, 

Nine percent of retiree voters expressed newfound interest in investing in Bitcoin or crypto assets following the approval of a Bitcoin ETF.

Trump vs. Biden 

It’s worth mentioning that while Donald Trump has publicly endorsed cryptocurrencies, as shown by his acceptance of digital donations for his campaign, Joe Biden’s position on this issue has remained more quiet.

Several occurrences indicate that Biden has likewise embraced cryptocurrency, as evident in his position regarding the FIT21 and SAB 121 legislations.

Additionally, as per Grayscale’s report, 

“The cryptocurrency landscape is evenly split between Republican (18%) and Democratic (19%) supporters.”

It further stated, 

As a researcher examining public opinion on political parties’ stances towards cryptocurrencies, I find an intriguing divide among voters. Thirty percent of the respondents express a positive view regarding the Democrats’ stance, while another thirty percent hold similar sentiments about the Republicans. In essence, both parties garner equal favor from an identical proportion of voters when it comes to their perceived support for crypto policies.

Voter’s sentiment shift 

As an analyst, I can say that the data reveals that the backing for cryptocurrencies is relatively evenly distributed among various political groups, suggesting a well-balanced enthusiasm for this emerging technology.

As a crypto analyst, I can affirm that with cryptocurrencies increasingly gaining popularity among voters, especially the younger demographic, the stance of the incoming administration on digital currencies becomes crucial.
