The Digital Currency Group (DCG) conducted an online survey in Michigan, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona.
"The results of the survey show that cryptocurrency is in the spotlight of voters who are undecided in their choice of states and that the position in favor of cryptocurrencies is a net positive for candidates," said Julie Stitzel, senior vice president of DCG.
The DCG's findings are confirmed by the observations of the Consumer Protection Group Public Citizen, which reported that election supercommittees organized by major players in the American crypto industry raised more than $100 million to support loyal candidates in the 2024 U.S. congressional elections.
"A new generation of crypto corporations, executives and their allies are once again entering the political fray, spending millions to tilt the election towards pro—cryptocurrency candidates," announced Rick Claypool, director of research at Public Citizen.
According to Public Citizen, more than half of the funds raised came from Coinbase and Ripple Labs. The rest of the funds for the election campaign of the engaged candidates were provided by private individuals and the heads of several venture capital companies. Including $11 million from each of the founders of the investment firm Andreessen Horowitz, $5 million from the twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, as well as $1 million from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong personally.
Earlier, Matthew Siegel, head of the cryptocurrency research department at the American investment company VanEck, said that the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump, who is running for president of the United States, would be useful for the crypto industry.
