Trump is Clear Favorite Among Crypto-Owning Voters in U.S. Presidential Race: Poll

Summary

A poll commissioned by crypto investment firm Paradigm indicates that Donald Trump is the preferred U.S. presidential candidate among cryptocurrency holders, with 48% intending to vote for him compared to 39% for Joe Biden. The poll, conducted online by Public Opinion Strategies, involved 1,000 voters, 7% of whom hold more than $1,000 in crypto. When asked which political party they trust to handle crypto-related issues, 49% of respondents chose "neither." Additionally, over 10% of respondents have either already bought a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) or plan to do so, suggesting that the recent approval of bitcoin spot ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission is attracting not just institutional investors.
