Trump’s Pro-Crypto Stance Gains Traction Among Voters
In a poll conducted by Echelon Insights, financed by Paradigm, it was revealed that former President Donald Trump’s favorable opinions on cryptocurrencies have significantly swayed Republican voters. The survey, conducted in mid-June among over 1,000 Republican participants, showed that 13% of previously hesitant voters now support Trump primarily due to his crypto-positive rhetoric.

The poll also highlighted that a significant 60% of Republican respondents advocate for Congress to implement regulations on crypto businesses. Among the respondents, 28% admitted to owning cryptocurrencies. It’s noteworthy that crypto investors were primarily from younger, more diverse demographics, which suggests a shifting trend in the typical investor profile.
