Nearly a third of young voters in the US use cryptocurrencies, according to a new national poll.
A national survey from the Emerson College Polling Center conducted this month indicates that of all US registered voters, those under the age of 40 are the most likely to use cryptocurrencies.
The research also shows that the use of digital assets decreases as voter age increases.
Says Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling:
“Almost one in three voters under 40 have used crypto, this decreases with age; 28% of voters in their 40s, 17% in their 50s, 9% in their 60s and only 4% over 70 are crypto users.”
The survey is based on a sample size of 1,000 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3%.
According to the survey, of all registered voters, almost 20% have invested, traded or used digital assets. Of this cohort, more than 60% have not made any purchases using crypto, while 39% have.
Meanwhile, 81% of registered voters have not invested in, traded or used cryptocurrency.
Digging deeper into demographic details, the research shows that men are twice as likely to use crypto than women. While 26% of men use crypto, only 13% of women do.
The survey also found that “crypto users are also more likely to be from a racial minority group: About a third of voters who are Asian, Hispanic, or Black are involved in cryptocurrency, compared to 14% of white voters.”
