New Research Shows Majority of Voters in Key US States Support Cryptocurrencies and Web3 Technologies

Cryptocurrencies and Web3 Technologies Set to Impact the 2024 US Elections

This research highlights the increasing influence of cryptocurrency owners in the United States. Not only does one in five American adults own cryptocurrencies, but this group also tends to be younger and more diverse compared to the general population. The findings suggest that cryptocurrencies are not just financial assets but also political tools that can shape election outcomes.

The study conducted by Coinbase also reveals public dissatisfaction with the current financial system, with 87% of Americans believing that it requires a major overhaul. Only 14% express optimism about its future. Additionally, in key states, over 40% of digital asset owners use cryptocurrencies for remittances, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional banking.

Promoting US Legislation: Coinbase’s Response

This research aligns with Coinbase’s recent campaign to advocate for US legislation that addresses regulatory oversight in the cryptocurrency market. With a majority of voters in battleground states such as New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania expressing support for candidates who back cryptocurrencies and Web 3 technologies, it is becoming increasingly apparent that resistance to these advancements may come with political consequences.
