The crypto voter, profiled

The stereotype of the crypto voter is a white Republican who gets all their information from YouTube.

• Only that last part seems to be right, though, according to new research.

The latest: Paradigm, a large VC fund focused on digital assets, has a new survey out covering people who own cryptocurrency.

• The firm commissioned it from Echelon Insights, which surveyed 4,000 crypto owners online.

By the numbers: These investors are basically divided among Republicans, Democrats and those who don't affiliate with either of the major parties.

• Racially, the breakdown largely mirrors U.S. demographics, with one exception: Black Americans are slightly over-represented among crypto owners, at 19% of the sample (higher than the nearly 14% of the general population).
• Men outnumber women by nearly two-to-one (64% to 36%).

Almost 70% describe themselves as open to risk, and well over half are optimistic about cryptocurrency's financial potential.

• That's reflected in the extent of their bets, too. Almost half (46%) have more than $5,000 in crypto.

Zoom out: As of now, over 90% of all bitcoin on chain is in profit.

Zoom in: Unfortunately, crypto owners favor social media and YouTube for information about the industry.

• Mainstream news organizations are in fifth place, but the good news is we come out ahead of podcasts.
