On May 3, CoinDesk conducted a recent survey of 1,000 registered voters in the U.S., revealing that 62% of respondents expressed ‘distrust’ in the Trump administration’s ability to properly regulate the cryptocurrency industry. Additionally, 73% of respondents opposed government officials holding personal business interests or engagements in the crypto sector, highlighting growing public concern over conflicts of interest and the independence of crypto regulation. This survey comes as the U.S. crypto industry continues to ramp up political lobbying and campaign funding, including efforts to promote market structure legislation such as the CLARITY Act, while seeking to expand its influence in the 2026 midterm election cycle.
