A Grayscale survey indicates that, amid economic uncertainty, cryptocurrencies are increasingly relevant to voters.
In order to inform about the role that bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies are playing in the current political scenario in the United States, the investment firm Grayscale conducted a survey between April 30 and May 2.
The questionnaire was applied by the pollster Harris Pol to some 1,759 people (over 18 years of age) who expressed their intention to vote in the elections.
The results of the study, titled Is 2024 the election for Bitcoin?, highlight the growing importance of cryptocurrencies in the minds of American voters, being a topic of interest for 47% of voters.
This is a group of people who stated that they had invested or wanted to invest in cryptocurrencies and who claimed to pay greater attention to what is happening in this ecosystem. This, in the midst of an economic panorama that is increasingly disturbing.
Particularly, the rise in the inflation rate registered in recent years is the problem that most worries a significant part of those surveyed (28%), followed by uncertainty about the economic future.
Taking these data into account, Grayscale observes a more active participation of bitcoin in macroeconomic and geopolitical dynamics thanks to the maturity and solidity achieved by the asset.
Its relevance became more evident after the approval of spot ETFs last January, the halving that occurred in April and the rise in the price of BTC in recent months. These are facts that led more people to get involved and understand how the digital currency works. Additionally, the global political and economic situation plays an important role in the feeling of uncertainty that voters experience.
