Do Americans trust Trump on crypto?

62% of voters don't trust Trump to regulate crypto. Bitcoin just broke $80K — barely. And a big week ahead: Strategy earnings, Consensus Miami, and April jobs data. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Monday, May 4, 2026 U.S. voters don't trust Trump administration to oversee crypto sector, CoinDesk poll finds 62% of registered U.S. voters don't trust the Trump administration to regulate crypto — and 73% say senior government officials shouldn't have personal business dealings in the industry, according to a new CoinDesk/Public Opinion Strategies poll of 1,000 voters. Only 17% are aware of the full extent of Trump's involvement with World Liberty Financial and other digital asset interests, yet 45% know he and his family have built a profitable stake.

April nonfarm payrolls drop Friday — the last major jobs print before the Fed's June meeting, and the first data point Warsh will be watching as chair-in-waiting. Coinbase, Galaxy Digital, and Bullish are also reporting.

April's rally was powered almost entirely by perpetual futures, with spot demand actually contracting throughout the month. Polymarket puts the odds of $90,000 this month at just 23%.
