According to Rep. Wiley Nickel, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris could have made a “really big error” not courting voters in favor of crypto earlier.
Political analysts are still analyzing the results of the 2024 United States elections on Nov. 5, but many candidates who said they would advocate for policies favoring the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry won their respective primaries and races.
According to reporting from the advocacy group Stand With Crypto, roughly 270 “pro-crypto” candidates won seats in the US House of Representatives and Senate.
Election Day polling from Paradigm suggested that roughly half of crypto voters waited until the eleventh hour to cast their ballots, leaned Republican, and likely contributed to Donald Trump winning the popular vote with 76.8 million votes — slightly less than 50% of all votes cast.
