Survey: Only 13% of Americans Back Candidates Pushing Crypto and DeFi

The gap between broad appetite for financial-system change and weak support for crypto-specific candidates suggests voters are not translating dissatisfaction into a crypto voting issue. That matters for candidates and advocacy groups banking on digital-asset policy as a mobilizing theme. The low familiarity and trust figures point to an education and credibility problem more than a partisan one. Whether those familiarity and trust numbers move, and whether crypto messaging starts appearing in general fintech terms rather than as a standalone cause, is the open question.
