As rancor grows around a host of economic issues, pro-crypto actions in both legislation and executive rules and guidance are an easy economic win at a time when economic trends are generating tough headlines for many in power. 

A recent McLaughlin poll of 800 crypto investors in Q3 2025 demonstrates that active swing voters are up for grabs. Members of Congress facing the 2026 midterm elections can appeal to them by working to support transparent, smart regulations, rolling back short-sighted rules and guidance from the previous administration; this will build certainty for Americans who want to participate in the crypto industry. 

Though many of the crypto voters polled register as Democrats, they resoundingly stated that Republicans can sway these left-of-center voters by supporting legislation that empowers Americans’ access to digital finance and crypto.  
 
This is clearly an economic storyline that the GOP is winning, but the issue is stronger than party affiliation and affects the highly coveted swing voter’s candidate choice, according to this data. As redistricting continues to reshape safe districts into tighter races next year, the midterms could be decided by just a few votes. Acting before Congress leaves next year to campaign on the big issues in crypto, like digital asset market structure legislation, a federal strategic bitcoin reserve, or even anti-CBDC legislation could gain traction with these voters.
