BlockBeats News, May 14th, a survey of 2035 American adults conducted by POLITICO and polling agency Public First revealed that only 4% of respondents said they would consider a political candidate's cryptocurrency policy position when voting. The survey found that the most pressing issues for American voters currently include: affordable housing, consumer fraud protection, and reducing bank fees, with only 18% of respondents believing that establishing cryptocurrency market regulatory rules should be a congressional priority, just 1 percentage point higher than "regulating large banks."

In addition, only 27% of respondents support the U.S. government promoting cryptocurrency as a mainstream financial asset, while 31% of respondents are opposed. 45% of respondents believe that even though cryptocurrency investment may bring high returns, the risks are "not worth taking"; only 25% think it's worth it. The survey also found that over half of the respondents said they have never traded cryptocurrency and do not plan to do so in the future, with only 19% having ever traded crypto assets. Among those who have traded cryptocurrency, only 7% said a candidate's crypto stance would influence their voting decision.

However, reports indicate that the lobbying power of the crypto industry continues to grow. Data shows that the crypto industry spent over $130 million in political funding during the 2024 U.S. election and has already allocated around $320 million for this year's midterm elections.
