Crypto Voters to Decide Midterm Elections, Warns Coinbase CEO

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has warned lawmakers that crypto voters are closely watching their positions on digital assets ahead of the midterm elections in November.

A recent survey by Stand With Crypto found that roughly 70% of crypto owners said a candidate's stance on crypto would factor into their vote, while 73% said they were closely watching what crypto policies their lawmakers were supporting.

The group also reported that about eight in ten crypto owners said they were 'almost certain' to vote in November, indicating that crypto policy could play a pivotal part in the midterm elections.

The CLARITY Act has a shrinking window to move before the Senate breaks for its August recess, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong predicted that crypto policy would become a deciding factor at the ballot box.
