Politics in the US is becoming more interesting as the election draws near. Due to the success of Trump’s crypto rhetoric, the Democrats decided to change their tune to get funds from crypto leaders. Such a decision is informed by a recent poll showing a growing interest in cryptocurrency among Democratic voters.
Issues in politics really changed fast. What has been demonized in the past is now becoming a major force in American politics. To ride such a shift in sentiment, the campaign strategy of Kamala Harris’s camp has launched the Crypto4Harris initiative to engage with the crypto community. This initiative, involving key figures like Congressman Wiley Nickel and billionaire Mark Cuban, aims to craft a pro-crypto policy framework to counter Republican efforts.
The poll shows at least two interesting data:
13% of surveyed Democrats do not plan to vote for Harris, with a significant portion of these voters being crypto investors.
Strong crypto support among non-white Democrats indicates that more Democrats will likely invest in crypto within the next year.
As such, adopting a crypto-friendly stance is politically strategic for the Democrats. This may attract more voters, learning from Trump’s success in gaining favor among pro-crypto voters.
