Poll: Trump's new enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies could help him win more votes

According to an industry-sponsored poll released Wednesday, former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent embrace of cryptocurrencies after a long history of skepticism could win him some reluctant Republican votes as he seeks to return to the White House in November. As the party's presidential candidate, Trump has caught the attention of some voters by making a series of positive remarks about helping the U.S. cryptocurrency industry, according to a poll funded by cryptocurrency investment firm Paradigm. According to data compiled by polling firm Echelon Insights, a snapshot of Republicans' sentiment shows that 13 percent of those who do not plan to vote for him believe his crypto stance makes them have a more positive view of him.
