About 1-in-5 voters have invested in, traded or used cryptocurrency, according to a Tuesday poll.
The survey from Emerson College Polling found that 19 percent of respondents have traded, invested or used crypto like Bitcoin or Ethereum. About 81 percent have not.
Among the respondents who have used crypto, 39 percent used it to make purchases while the other 61 percent did not, according to the survey.
Approximately 32 percent of those aged 18-29 and 30-39 said they have used, traded or invested in the digital currency, more than other age groups, the data shows.
“Crypto users are younger and have a larger minority base, highlighting crypto as a growing, diverse constituency for political support: 57 percent of crypto users have a favorable view of Donald Trump,” Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement.
Twice as many men, 26 percent, used crypto compared to women, 13 percent, per the poll.
The survey’s findings are similar to those in 2022, when an NBC News poll showed similar statistics, that 1 in 5 adults have invested in, traded or used cryptocurrency.
In late September, a Morning Consult poll found that crypto owners are evenly split between those who supported Vice President Harris, 47 percent, and those who backed President-elect Trump, 47 percent.
Polling from earlier in the year also found 67 percent of crypto owners in several of the battleground states — Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — said they were “enthusiastic” to vote for crypto-friendly contenders.
The Emerson College survey was conducted Dec. 11-13 among 1,000 registered voters. The poll had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
