19 Percent of Americans Report Investing in Cryptocurrency, Poll Reveals

19 percent of Americans have invested, traded, or used cryptocurrency, as revealed by a recent survey from Emerson College Polling. This statistic underscores the increasing acceptance of digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Given that approximately 81 percent of respondents have not engaged with crypto, this emerging market indicates significant potential for growth.

Among those who have interacted with cryptocurrencies, 39 percent reported using them for purchases, while the remaining 61 percent did not. The survey shows that 32 percent of participants aged 18-29 and 30-39 are more likely to have traded or invested in these assets compared to older demographics.

According to Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, “Crypto users are younger and have a larger minority base, highlighting crypto as a growing, diverse constituency for political support.” His findings indicate that 57 percent of crypto users view Donald Trump favorably.

Gender disparities are also noteworthy: 26 percent of men have used crypto versus just 13 percent of women. These trends echo those of previous years, where polls indicated that around 1 in 5 adults have participated in the crypto market.

In closing, the Emerson College survey captures 1,000 registered voters between December 11-13, offering valuable insights into the demographics and political inclinations of the cryptocurrency community.
