New insights from Grayscale, a leading crypto asset management firm, indicate that US voters are increasingly turning their attention to cryptocurrency as the 2024 presidential election approaches. In a recent blog post, Grayscale suggests that this election cycle may prominently feature discussions around Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets, reflecting a growing interest among voters in these investment opportunities.

According to Grayscale’s survey conducted from April 30th to May 2nd, 2024, among 1,768 adults eligible to vote in the upcoming presidential election, significant trends emerged. “2024 has thus far proven to be a landmark year for Bitcoin,” Grayscale notes. Bitcoin reached an all-time high on March 13, 2024, and has maintained unprecedented price levels compared to previous election years. This surge has sparked speculation, prompting discussions about the possibility of November becoming known as ‘the Bitcoin Election.’

The surge in interest extends beyond Bitcoin alone, encompassing a broader spectrum of crypto assets. A notable finding is that nearly one-third of voters (32%) express increased openness to learning about or investing in cryptocurrencies since the beginning of the year. Moreover, compared to November 2023, more voters now view crypto as a viable long-term investment opportunity (23% vs. 19%), with a growing number (47% vs. 40%) considering crypto as a component of their investment portfolios.

Grayscale’s research also highlights the political landscape regarding crypto policies. Despite varying public stances, support for crypto appears evenly distributed across political affiliations. While former President Trump has notably embraced crypto during his campaign, ownership rates among Republicans (18%) and Democrats (19%) are similar. Additionally, opinions are split on which political party favors crypto policies more, with 30% of voters seeing both the Democratic and Republican parties favorably.

These insights underscore a balanced interest in crypto across the political spectrum, challenging the notion of crypto support being dominated by any single party. As the election season progresses, the role of cryptocurrencies in shaping voter preferences and policy debates is expected to gain further prominence.
