Nearly a Third of US Voters Aged Below 40 Have Used Crypto, According to New Poll

Nearly a third of young voters in the US are using cryptocurrencies, according to a new national poll.

An Emerson College Polling Center national survey conducted this month indicates that out of all US registered voters, those under the age of 40 use cryptocurrencies the most.

The survey also finds that usage of digital assets declines as the voter age increases.

Says Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling,

“Nearly one in three voters under 40 have used crypto, declining with age, 28% of voters in their 40s, 17% in their 50s, 9% in their 60s and just 4% over 70 are crypto users.”

The survey relies on a sample size of 1,000 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3%.

Among all registered voters, nearly 20% have invested, traded or used digital assets, according to the survey. Among this cohort, more than 60% have not made purchases using crypto while 39% have.

Meanwhile, 81% of registered voters have not invested in, traded or used cryptocurrency.

Drilling down into demographic details, the survey finds that men are twice as likely to use crypto than women. While 26% of men use crypto, only 13% of women do.

The survey also found that “crypto users are also more likely to be minority racial groups: about a third of voters who are Asian, Hispanic or Black are involved in cryptocurrency, compared to 14% of white voters.”
