The Role of Crypto in the 2024 US Election: A New Political Battleground

As the 2024 US presidential election looms, the stakes have never been higher. Wars rage, inflation persists, and political polarisation deepens. Amid this turmoil, crypto has emerged as a crucial issue for voters, with Bitcoin at the forefront. A recent survey by Harris Poll on behalf of Grayscale reveals that nearly half of American voters (47%) expect crypto to be part of their investment portfolios, a significant increase from late 2023. This growing interest in crypto is not just a financial trend but a political one, with candidates like Donald Trump embracing the asset on the campaign trail.
