Trump Holds Significant Lead Among Crypto Owners
A recent survey from Fairleigh Dickinson University revealed that Trump was getting through to his target. Approximately 50% of respondents who did hold crypto said they’d vote in favour of Trump, compared to just 38% for Kamala Harris.
These results aren’t particularly surprising, given the current Democrat Government’s rocky relationship with digital currencies. Many in the community also believe that a Trump victory would have a better short-term impact on the market due to his promised pro-crypto policy changes.
