Trump Is Making Bank on Crypto: Do Voters Care?

Main Idea

The article discusses a poll on public awareness and opinions regarding Donald Trump's involvement in cryptocurrency, highlighting political divides and skepticism about the poll's credibility.

Key Points

1. A poll by the Cedar Innovation Foundation found that 60% of respondents were unaware of Trump's personal crypto ventures, while 40% were aware.

2. 57% of respondents had seen, read, or heard little about Trump’s Solana-related activities, suggesting low public awareness.

3. 62% of voters in another poll believed Congress should prevent the Trump family from personally benefiting from cryptocurrency, with significant partisan divides (42% Republicans, 66% independents, 80% Democrats).

4. A House Democratic staffer criticized the Cedar poll as unreliable, calling the organization a 'dark money group with huge crypto ties.'

5. 79% of Democrats supported clearer crypto regulations if Trump is involved, compared to only 36% of Republicans.

Description

A new poll from a pro-crypto PAC asserts most voters are unaware of the president’s personal digital assets ventures—which have recently threatened the fate of crypto legislation.
