Crypto Ownership and Attitudes Among Democratic Voters in 2024
Summary
This poll reports crypto ownership, intended investment, and policy attitudes among registered Democratic voters. Conducted from late July to early August 2024, it surveyed 804 self-identified Democrats and oversampled Black, Hispanic, and Asian American and Pacific Islander respondents. The report says crypto ownership and positive views of crypto were higher among voters of color, and that some respondents who were not supporting Kamala Harris had bought crypto or viewed the administration’s crypto stance as too hostile.
The poll also asked about financial privacy, purchasing power, access to financial services, and U.S. leadership in crypto innovation. The authors interpret the responses as evidence of potential political salience and future buying interest, reporting that some respondents expected to invest within a year. These are stated intentions and opinions, not observed market flows or forecasts of returns. The findings are limited by the sample, survey timing, self-reported answers, and the report’s advocacy-oriented framing; the document does not establish that crypto views determine voting behavior.
