Crypto Cameo in Presidential Debate? Only 6% of Americans Wanted It
The crypto community was left wanting more after a recent survey revealed that only 6% of Americans wanted to see a discussion on cryptocurrencies during the US presidential TV debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The survey, conducted by American investment media outlet Benzinga, polled 133 Americans and found that the economy and jobs (45%) and immigration (24%) were the topics respondents were most interested in hearing about. Cryptocurrencies trailed far behind, with only 6% expressing a desire for a discussion on the subject. This result may come as a surprise to some in the crypto community, given the recent surge in interest in digital assets. However, it is important to note that the survey was conducted before the recent price rally, which may have swayed more respondents to express interest in cryptocurrencies. Despite the low percentage of Americans who wanted to see a discussion on cryptocurrencies during the presidential debate, the survey highlights a growing awareness and interest in digital assets. As the crypto market continues to mature, it is likely that we will see more mainstream discussions about cryptocurrencies in the future.
