The study, conducted by the Digital Currency Group and the Harris Group, surveyed 1,201 people in six “swing states” — a term given to states that could be won by either the Democratic Party or Republican Party in a statewide election.


Cointelegraph’s earlier reporting found that over 90% of these respondents plan on voting in the upcoming U.S. election and that a politician’s crypto stance could play a key role in their choices.


However, while 70% of the surveyed voters agreed that the current financial system is “outdated” and 74% say the system needs an “overhaul,” only a third of respondents agreed crypto could solve this problem, the May 7 report found.


Four out of five participants said the current financial system favors the elites over regular people, but nearly 75% of respondents said crypto isn’t more equitable than the current system either.

However, there was a large discrepancy in answers between those who own crypto or have owned crypto in the past and those who have never touched it.


More than 90% of current crypto owners plan to buy more coins or maintain their portfolios over the next six months, while only 7% of non-crypto owners plan to invest in the asset class in that time.


About 76% of voters who hold or have held crypto said it positively impacted their financial well-being.

The participants — from Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania and Arizona — took part in a 10-minute online survey conducted between April 4 and 16, 2024.


Participants had to reside in the United States, be at least 18 years old and be registered to vote to participate.


The survey also found that swing voters do not trust political candidates who are interfering with cryptocurrency developments, particularly those who don’t understand how the technology works.
