Blockchain Association, in partnership with HarrisX, released public perception polling on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “regulation by enforcement” approach to the U.S. digital asset industry under Chair Gary Gensler’s leadership. According to polling, voters believe that the U.S. has taken the wrong approach toward crypto and that the SEC has been too heavy handed.

The American voter – and investor – is eager for a change. A critical next step: Congress must act to establish comprehensive digital asset legislation for the industry.

Neither political party currently “owns” the crypto issue, but voters say they are more likely to support and back candidates who encourage innovation in the digital asset space.
