According to PANews, a survey found that approximately 26 million American voters form a "cryptocurrency voting bloc" who list pro-cryptocurrency policies as their top demand in the upcoming election.

According to a survey published by The Digital Chamber on Oct. 17, 16% of 1,004 respondents said that cryptocurrency is “extremely” or “very” important when deciding who to vote for. If a candidate supports cryptocurrency, they are “very” or “somewhat” likely to vote for that candidate.

The survey also found that at least 25% of Democrats and 21% of Republicans said that a candidate's stance on cryptocurrency would positively influence their voting decisions. Two-fifths of black voters listed a candidate's cryptocurrency policy as an important criterion in deciding their vote, more than twice the proportion of white voters.

With experts predicting a fierce race for the White House, the findings should serve as a "wake-up call for policymakers," said Perianne Boring, founder and CEO of The Digital Chamber. Voters want smart and balanced regulation that protects consumers without stifling innovation.
