A recent survey conducted by polling firm Public First among 2,035 American adults indicates that only 4% of respondents would base their voting decisions on a candidate's stance on cryptocurrency policies. According to Odaily, the top three issues voters want Congress to address are affordable housing, consumer fraud protection, and reducing bank fees. Only 18% of those surveyed consider establishing rules for the crypto market a priority for Congress, just 1% more than those who prioritize regulating large banks.
The survey also found that 45% of respondents believe the risks of investing in cryptocurrencies outweigh the potential high returns, and only 19% have ever traded cryptocurrencies. Republican Congressman Dusty Johnson noted that while most voters are not concerned about digital assets, those who are, care deeply.
