Crypto isn’t just reshaping finance—it’s shaping politics, too. 🇨🇦 With the global crypto market surpassing $3 trillion, Canadian policymakers are at a crossroads: Will Canada foster a thriving crypto ecosystem or fall behind in the global digital economy? We surveyed 1,785 Shakepay customers and discovered that crypto voters are a force to be reckoned with: 📌 91% plan to vote in the next federal election—far exceeding Canada’s 60-70% national average. 📌 84% are under 50 years of age. They’re young, tech-savvy, and are driven by a vision of financial modernization and empowerment.  📌 25% of bitcoin and crypto voters remain undecided, with 90% of these voters preferring a party that backs the bitcoin and crypto industry. For many, bitcoin isn’t just an asset—it can be a game-changer for financial autonomy. ✅ 61% report an improved financial situation thanks to better spending habits, more affordable remittances, and increased wealth. The bottom line? Crypto voters matter. Any leader who addresses their concerns has an opportunity to gain support from a forward-thinking, digitally-native voter base. Curious about what this means for Canada’s future?
