Poll finds 72% of US voters want candidates backing homegrown fintech

An Ipsos survey for the DeFi Education Fund found most respondents want politicians to support financial technology built in the US, though few said they were familiar with crypto.

Why it matters: The poll suggests fintech policy could sway US voters in the 2026 midterms, even as few report familiarity with crypto or stablecoins.

Key points

  • Ipsos polled 1,545 people in September for the DeFi Education Fund.
  • 72% said backing US-built financial technology was somewhat to extremely important in a candidate.
  • Only 9% said they were familiar with crypto and 5% with stablecoins; 87% had held no digital assets in the past 12 months.

A majority of US voters want political candidates to back homegrown fintech, according to an Ipsos poll released on 27 October for the DeFi Education Fund. The survey of 1,545 people, carried out in September, found that 72% rated support for policies encouraging financial technology built in the US as somewhat to extremely important.

Within that group, 35% called it very or extremely important that candidates encourage those building the next generation of financial technology to do so in the US, while 37% said it was somewhat important.

Ipsos said ownership of crypto and openness to DeFi were largely in line with 2025, with interest similar across party lines.

What to watch: Voters go to the polls in the 2026 midterm elections, about two months after the survey was conducted.
