An online survey commissioned by Digital Currency Group and conducted by the Harris Poll found that a slice of registered voters in swing states think crypto is important.
Behind the scenes: Some 40% of the 1,201 survey respondents in Michigan, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona said they wish political candidates talked more about digital currency.
Zoom in: Nearly half, or 48%, said they do not trust candidates who interfere with crypto.
30% said they would be more likely to support a crypto-friendly candidate.
A majority, or 74%, said they never owned crypto.
Almost half of those who say they owned crypto said they profited.
The big picture: Folks who were surveyed more generally agreed that the current financial system was not designed to benefit the many, or 76%.
79% said it lacks transparency.
63% said it set up younger generations to fail.
69% of surveyed folks said they had a somewhat negative to very negative view of crypto.
