According to a McLaughlin & Associates study conducted in July 2025 among 800 crypto investors commissioned by the Digital Chamber lobbying organization, 73% of respondents support US President Donald Trump’s crypto policy.
At the same time, his approval rate among crypto investors is 54% — significantly higher than among the general electorate. The margin of error of the analysis was 3.4%.
In addition, 64% of crypto investors consider a candidate’s position on digital assets to be important when voting in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.
This trend, according to analysts, began to take shape in 2024, when a growing proportion of voters began to name crypto policy as one of the main issues in the elections.
Although the respondents are generally somewhat inclined towards liberal and democratic views, a significant proportion of them support Trump and the Republican Party.
According to the study:
- 37% of respondents trust Republicans in the development of the crypto industry
- 24% — Democrats
- 16% chose the “neither party” option.
According to the report, “crypto investors approve of President Trump’s performance and trust him and the Republicans more than the Democrats in promoting crypto initiatives in the United States.”
Despite the fact that politically this group has a “profile closer to the Democratic Party”, most of them vote for Republicans in congressional elections.
The surveyed crypto investors, according to the study, are more likely to have higher education, lower income, are younger, more diverse in terms of ethnicity, and, most importantly, are more likely to be registered as voters than the average American.
According to The Economist, 261 days into Trump’s second term, 39% of Americans approve of the president’s job performance, 56% disapprove, and 4% are undecided, according to national polls.
Despite the growing criticism from the public — due to Trump’s attempts to “reshape the government through executive orders, change trade, immigration, and foreign policy” — crypto investors rate his performance well above the average.
Americans generally have a negative view of his handling of inflation, the economy, immigration, and crime. However, among the crypto community, these factors are largely inferior to the importance of his stance on digital assets.
As a reminder, under the leadership of Trump and the Republican Congress, the first large-scale stablecoin regulation law was passed this year.
The next step would be legislation that would regulate the broader crypto asset market in the US, but the budget crisis and the temporary government shutdown slowed down this process.
While Republicans have generally been more supportive of crypto policy, a significant number of Democrats have also supported key votes to advance the bills. Democrats also developed and presented their own version of the initiative to regulate the crypto market in the United States.
