Crypto Investors Back Trump’s Digital Asset Agenda
A recent survey conducted by McLaughlin & Associates for the lobbying organization Digital Chamber reveals that 73% of crypto investors approve of former President Donald Trump’s digital asset policies, significantly higher than the 39% approval rate among the general American population.
The study, which sampled 800 crypto investors in July 2025, also found that Trump’s approval rating among crypto holders stands at 54%, considerably above his broader national approval rating. The survey’s margin of error is ±3.4%.
Crypto Policy: A Key Factor in Upcoming Elections
The survey highlights that 64% of crypto investors consider a candidate’s stance on digital assets important when voting in the 2026 midterm elections. Analysts note that this trend began forming in 2024, with an increasing number of voters prioritizing crypto policy as a decisive factor at the ballot box.
Despite the general liberal and Democratic-leaning profile of many respondents, a significant portion supports Trump and the Republican Party:
- 37% trust Republicans to advance the crypto industry
- 24% trust Democrats
- 16% chose “neither party”
“Crypto investors tend to approve of Trump’s work and place more trust in him and the Republican Party than in Democrats when it comes to promoting crypto initiatives in the US,” the report notes.
Demographics of Crypto Investors
The survey also indicates that crypto investors differ from the general population:
- More likely to have higher education
- Tend to have lower incomes
- Younger and more ethnically diverse
- More likely to be registered voters
Interestingly, while broader public sentiment is critical of Trump’s handling of inflation, the economy, immigration, and crime, crypto investors prioritize his approach to digital asset regulation above other political issues.
Legislative Context
Under Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress, the first comprehensive stablecoin regulatory framework was passed this year, further cementing the influence of crypto policy on the investor community.
This survey underscores the growing political influence of the crypto community and signals that digital asset policy could be a pivotal factor in upcoming elections.
