Crypto Spends $176 Million on Midterms, But Only 13% of Voters See It as a Priority
Summary
A survey of 1,545 U.S. adults found only 13% consider candidates’ support for crypto, blockchain and DeFi very or extremely important. Support rises to 35% for encouraging financial technology development in the U.S. Crypto groups have spent about $176 million across more than 100 midterm races, including $150.8 million from Fairshake and affiliates. The findings come as the industry pursues regulatory action after a crypto market-structure bill stalled in the Senate. Respondents showed greater concern for modernizing the financial system against threats such as AI and cybercrime than for crypto specifically.
