Cryptocurrency is emerging as a key issue in the 2024 US elections, with a survey suggesting that voters' investments in crypto assets could significantly impact the outcome. The survey, conducted by Digital Currency Group (DCG) and The Harris Poll, found that over two-thirds of respondents believe cryptocurrencies benefit people like them, and nearly 90% of participants from key states plan to vote in the 2024 elections.

In Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Arizona, more than 90% of respondents said they planned to vote in the 2024 elections, indicating that cryptocurrency could be a critical issue for candidates in swing states. Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association, stated that "crypto assets have emerged as a significant issue in the upcoming elections," with more than a quarter of voters actively considering political candidates' positions on crypto assets when making their decisions.

The survey also found that voters expressed positive views about crypto, with little difference in terms of household income and political party inclination. However, the Harris survey indicated that 77% of voters in Ohio had a more negative view of cryptocurrencies. In the Ohio Senate race, Democrat Sherrod Brown, who may chair the Senate Banking Committee, and Republican Bernie Moreno are likely to compete.

The control of the US Presidency, the House of Representatives with a slight Republican majority, and the Senate with a slight Democratic majority will be contested in 2024. Three crypto-focused political action committees have raised over $100 million to support candidates from both parties in the upcoming elections, highlighting the growing importance of cryptocurrency in shaping the election environment.
