A new survey from the Digital Chamber (TDC), a cryptocurrency advocacy group, found that nearly one in seven voters will consider a candidate’s stance on cryptocurrency a critical factor in their vote for the presidency.

With crypto policy now a pivotal issue for a substantial bloc of voters, a significant majority of Americans appear poised to vote for candidates who support the industry.

According to the survey, a pro-crypto stance is likely to have a net positive effect, drawing in more voters than it repels.

The data suggested a convergence of opinion across the partisan divide, with most Republicans and Democrats agreeing that supporting the crypto sector should be a medium-level priority for elected officials.

A notable fraction — nearly one-third (32%) of Democrats and almost one-quarter (27%) of Republicans — believe it should be a high or very high priority, underscoring the growing recognition of the industry’s importance.

The survey’s findings may help explain why even longtime skeptics of the crypto industry, such as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, have begun to soften their stance, acknowledging the need for favorable crypto policies.

The survey further found that 40% of Black Americans consider crypto policy a determining factor in their voting decision.

This is more than double the proportion of white voters who view crypto policy as a key consideration.

TDC’s survey also highlighted that partisans on both sides believe their candidate is more supportive of crypto, underscoring the competitive nature of this emerging issue.

According to the report, there is no denying that crypto could be a key factor this election season, with crypto donations accounting for more than 40% of the total corporate donations.
