Survey Finds 13% Support When Candidate Question Names Crypto and DeFi

DeFi Education Fund and Ipsos surveyed U.S. respondents about political candidates and financial technology. Thirty-five percent said candidates should support building next-generation financial technology. When the question specifically referred to blockchain, cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi), support measured 13%. Seventy-four percent said the financial system should change to give individuals more control over their assets. Nine percent said they were very or extremely familiar with cryptocurrency, while 5% reported high trust in decentralized platforms. Among respondents interested in trying DeFi, savings and transfers within the United States ranked among the leading uses, ahead of speculation.
