Forbes reports that one in five Americans currently own digital assets. 52 million individuals are included in that figure. Additionally, the political makeup of this group is arguably the most notable. According to survey data from Coinbase and Morning Consult, Forbes also stated that 22% of respondents who own cryptocurrency identified as Democrats, 18% as Republicans, and 22% as Independents.
