A poll by the DeFi Education Fund and Ipsos found that 72% of respondents think it matters for politicians to back policies that encourage financial technology built in the United States. Respondents who said this rated it anywhere from "somewhat" to "extremely" important.
The survey was conducted in September. Cointelegraph reported the results on Oct 27, 2026, in a story by staff writer Turner Wright, edited by Robert Lakin. The report described the poll as one possible indication of how US voters may weigh fintech and digital asset policy when they vote on Election Day.
The report does not give the number of people surveyed, the margin of error, or how the 72% divides between "somewhat" and "extremely" important. It also does not name any candidate, party or specific bill. The DeFi Education Fund, which commissioned the poll with Ipsos, is a crypto-focused group, so the results come from an advocacy source.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this poll changes nothing directly. It does not change funding rates, trading fees or order book liquidity on any of these exchanges. It measures public opinion only. It is not a law, a rule or an election result.
