An April survey found that 63% of U.S. voters viewed the cryptocurrency industry negatively, with attitudes varying by political affiliation. According to Foresight News, CoinDesk commissioned the nationwide poll, which received 849 valid responses: 533 respondents expressed distrust of the industry, while 316 viewed it positively. Democratic-leaning respondents were largely critical, with 233 reporting negative views and 88 positive ones. Among independent voters, 88 expressed negative views and 54 positive views. Republican respondents were more divided, though the survey report did not provide their totals. The poll asked participants why they viewed cryptocurrency positively or negatively. Supporters cited investment gains, transparency, security, and the possibility of using crypto to hedge against dollar risk or inflation. One young Republican-leaning voter who supported U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2024 election said cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, had helped them make money and described it as transparent and secure. Some respondents also called crypto a safe way to exchange money or a worthwhile investment. Critics pointed to investment risks, limited regulation, price volatility, fraud concerns, difficulty using crypto for purchases, and doubts that it functions as real currency. Some said they did not understand the technology or worried about losing access to funds by forgetting private-key passwords. Other concerns included government tracking or seizure of assets. Several respondents also cited Trump and his family’s involvement in cryptocurrency-related businesses as a reason for their negative views. Younger voters were generally more positive than older respondents, although among those aged 18–24, 20 viewed crypto positively and 24 negatively. Negative views were more pronounced among voters aged 55 and older. As U.S. midterm elections approach, polls and prediction markets indicate an advantage for Democrats.

Japan’s tech-heavy Nikkei 225 fell 4.2% to 60,455.95 as early U.S. midterm results increased the prospect that Democrats could win both chambers of Congress, a scenario strategists had said would pressure AI stocks. According to Sina Finance, the TOPIX fell 2.8% to 3,819.54, while chip and AI shares including Taiyo Yuden, Kioxia and Furukawa Electric were among the weakest performers. Masahiro Yamaguchi, head of investment research at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, said global equities had begun pricing in the view that a Democratic advantage would weigh on AI-related stocks. He said Japan’s market, which was closed Tuesday for a holiday, appeared to see some delayed unwinding of AI-related positions after similar moves in overseas markets. Most voting had ended across much of the United States, and Democrats had made early progress in their bid to win congressional majorities. Kalshi put the odds of Democrats taking the House at about 99%, with the odds of winning the Senate described as similar.
