Nearly One-Third of Young US Voters Are Using Cryptocurrencies, Survey Finds
A recent national poll conducted by the Emerson College Polling Center has shed light on the growing trend of cryptocurrency usage among young voters in the United States. According to the survey, nearly a third of registered voters under the age of 40 are actively using cryptocurrencies, marking a significant shift in the financial landscape.
The survey, which sampled 1,000 voters, revealed that as voter age increases, the usage of digital assets decreases. Only 4% of voters over the age of 70 reported using cryptocurrencies, compared to 28% of voters in their 40s and 17% in their 50s.

Interestingly, the survey also revealed a gender disparity in cryptocurrency usage, with men being twice as likely to use crypto compared to women. While 26% of men reported using cryptocurrencies, only 13% of women were involved in the digital asset space.
Furthermore, the survey highlighted that minority racial groups were more likely to participate in cryptocurrency activities, with approximately a third of Asian, Hispanic, and Black voters using digital assets, compared to 14% of white voters.
Among all registered voters, nearly 20% have invested, traded, or used digital assets, with more than 60% of this group not making purchases using cryptocurrencies. However, 39% of investors have actively engaged in crypto transactions.
Overall, 81% of registered voters have not ventured into the world of cryptocurrency, indicating a significant divide in adoption rates among the general population.
This survey underscores the evolving financial landscape and the increasing prevalence of digital assets among younger demographics. As cryptocurrencies continue to gain mainstream acceptance, their impact on traditional financial systems and investment practices is likely to grow in the coming years.
