The former senator and strategist at the Council for Cryptocurrency Innovation believes that loyalty to cryptocurrencies could be a deciding factor when voting in the upcoming elections.
The U.S. Innovation Council conducted a survey among 1,200 Americans to find out their opinion on the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the country. 52% of survey participants believe that regulation of the industry needs to be strengthened. The opinions of the rest of the respondents were divided: half of them believe that now the industry is already properly controlled, others refrained from answering. About 58% of respondents would like legislators to contribute to the stable operation of the cryptocurrency market and counteract fraud.
The survey also showed that only 13% of respondents own cryptocurrencies and only 1% have bought NFTs. 6% of survey participants said they would vote for a politician loyal to crypto assets, while 39% said they were unlikely to choose a person who supports such financial products. About 42% said that the cryptocurrency factor will not affect their voting choice at all. Therefore, the researchers concluded that the friendly attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry will not be a decisive factor for voters when voting for candidates. However, about 60% of the owners of crypto assets noted that they would prefer a policy that is more friendly to digital currencies.
Cryptocurrency Innovation Council Strategist Cory Gardner called the survey results quite positive. In his opinion, people are aware of the potential of the industry and support clarity in regulation, which will further recognize the potential of the industry.
“Everyone wants security and reliability in the market, and this requires a clear legal framework. The people of the United States are full of hope and see cryptocurrencies as an extension of their possibilities. Therefore, people will be more inclined in favor of loyal candidates,” Gardner suggested.
According to a recent study.com survey, 64% of US residents would like their children to learn the basic principles of blockchain and cryptocurrencies in schools. Researchers at the analytical company YouGov also found that 27% of Americans support the legalization of bitcoin in the country.
