PANews reported on February 21 that according to Cointelegraph, after Trump was elected as the US President, the cryptocurrency market soared due to his promise to support the industry, but a recent survey showed that only about one-third of Australians believe he is optimistic about cryptocurrencies.

A survey of 2,100 local adults by Australian cryptocurrency exchange Independent Reserve published on Feb. 21 found that 31% believe Trump is positive for cryptocurrencies, while 8% believe he is negative for the industry. The majority of respondents, about 60%, were neutral on the topic.

Half of Australian cryptocurrency investors said he has a positive attitude towards cryptocurrency, while 44% are neutral. Only 6% said he is unfavorable to the cryptocurrency industry. Among non-cryptocurrency investors, only about 20% said he has a positive attitude towards cryptocurrency, while 10% think he is unfavorable to the industry.
