CryptoLiteracy.org Survey Shows 65% of Crypto-Aware Americans Influenced by Candidate’s Crypto Policies in Presidential Voting

Published

Survey Shows Regulatory Clarity, Literacy Gaps, and Political Influence Are Driving the Future of Crypto

SEATTLE, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CryptoLiteracy.org, an industry initiative promoting broad consumer education of cryptocurrencies, unveiled the results from its annual survey exploring the state of cryptocurrency engagement, sentiment and literacy. The survey showed that 65% of Americans prioritize a candidate’s crypto policies when voting. The survey also found a significant increase in cryptocurrency awareness, with the percentage of respondents who reported knowing “a great deal” about crypto rising from 11.0% in 2022 to 31.8% in 2024.

The survey was conducted as part of the fourth annual Crypto Literacy Month, held each November. Coinme, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and infrastructure provider in the U.S., leads the educational initiative to promote digital asset literacy.

“These survey results make it clear every political candidate should offer a publicly available perspective on crypto and seek to bring regulatory support on a federal level,” said Neil Bergquist, CEO and co-founder of Coinme. “Voters are looking for candidates who support crypto. Politicians can’t ignore the data if they want to get elected.”

Crypto Policy and Security Surface as Key Issue for Crypto-Aware Voters
As the digital asset landscape evolves, 59% of respondents identified regulatory clarity as the top priority for the next presidential administration, underscoring a public desire for transparent guidelines that could stabilize and further legitimize the market. Additionally, 49% of respondents support leveraging federal resources to build a bitcoin reserve, including crypto seized by the Department of Justice. This reflects a bold shift toward national engagement in the crypto economy and a desire for government adoption.

The Crypto Confidence Gap: Knowledge Drives Investment
Those who understand crypto more are most likely to use it, while others report needing more knowledge before participating in the market. Survey findings reveal that respondents with a higher self-reported understanding of crypto are far more likely to own digital assets, with 98.6% ownership among those claiming “a great deal” of knowledge than just 32% for those with “a little” knowledge. This substantial gap highlights the role of confidence as a key factor in crypto participation.

Misconceptions around crypto fundamentals appear to influence risk perceptions, with 35.2% viewing crypto as “extremely risky” in 2024, down from 43.1% in 2022. However, with significant knowledge gaps, respondents may misunderstand certain risks, with about 43% reporting that they view crypto investments as “somewhat risky.” Younger and lower-income respondents, who stand to benefit from accessible financial opportunities, also report lower confidence in crypto knowledge, underscoring the need for targeted literacy programs to bridge this gap.

Despite Increased Awareness, Knowledge Lags
26.6% of respondents incorrectly believed that a cryptocurrency‘s value depends solely on “how it is distributed,” while 23.1% thought all blockchain technology is “managed by a company,” rather than being decentralized. Only 46.1% accurately identified blockchain as a decentralized ledger. Additionally, stablecoins remain misunderstood, with many respondents misidentifying their purpose. These insights call for dedicated educational programs about blockchain and digital assets to allow people to make secure and confident financial decisions.

Survey Methodology
CryptoLiteracy.org collected data from a study conducted in October 2024. The quiz, which consisted of 15 questions, assessed knowledge in cryptocurrency, bitcoin, De-Fi, blockchain, mining, types of wallets, and ETFs. The data was analyzed from randomized answers among 500 respondents located in the United States, within an audience balanced for age, income and gender. Only statistically significant insights are being highlighted from the study.

Their scores will be privately emailed to them, and CoinDesk will provide tailored courses to close any knowledge gaps on key cryptocurrency concepts.

NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ogury, the leader in advertising solutions fueled by exclusive data and grounded in privacy, today announced a strategic partnership with 51toCarbonZero (51-0), the only net zero platform powering growth for marketing and advertising leaders.

With a mature emissions baseline and an established reduction roadmap, Ogury turned to 51-0 to leverage its advanced AI data automation capabilities and its tailored expertise in adtech sustainability – driving greater emissions visibility and faster progress toward the company’s net zero goal.

Nathalie Pannequin, Senior Culture Lead at Ogury, said: “Environmental responsibility is not an add-on for us—it’s embedded in how we operate, innovate, and grow. As we advance toward net zero, it’s critical we pair our strong foundations with targeted expertise that understands the unique emissions profile of digital advertising. 51-0 brings the deep industry knowledge and pioneering solutions we need to lead responsibly in this space. Through this partnership, we aim to set new benchmarks and share best practices for sustainability within adtech while tackling climate change head-on.”

51-0 will support Ogury’s fourth GHG assessment and help refine its global reduction roadmap, providing more granular emissions measurement and analysis across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Together, the companies will embed sustainability even deeper into Ogury’s operations and evolve its product offering to improve environmental impact, especially for ad delivery, while promoting more responsible consumption to contribute to broader industry change.

By leveraging 51-0’s platform and climate advisory, Ogury will track progress more effectively and make data-driven decisions around operational efficiencies, which create opportunities for cost saving. The partnership underscores Ogury’s belief that environmental action is not just about ethics, but a strategic business opportunity that builds trust and long-term value with clients, suppliers, investors, and employees.

Richard Davis, CEO & Co-founder at 51toCarbonZero, said: “Ogury is a brilliant example of how climate leadership can evolve with integrity. Moving from measurement to impactful action, Ogury is now opening up opportunities to create additional revenue lines and generate operational efficiencies in a complex, fast-moving sector. We’re excited to support the team as they shape what responsible advertising looks like in a net zero future.”

This collaboration spans Ogury’s global operations across 19 countries and digital activities in 33 markets, ensuring a unified approach to sustainability. It also strengthens the environmental pillar of Ogury’s holistic ESG strategy, complementing its work to foster diversity and inclusion, responsible business practices, and long-term stakeholder impact.
