As a long-time crypto investor who has seen the market’s ebb and flow, I can confidently say that the recent surge in Donald Trump’s odds on Polymarket is not just a flash in the pan. The appeal of Trump among the crypto community, particularly his pro-crypto stance and initiatives like World Liberty Financial, cannot be ignored.
As the 2024 U.S. presidential election gets closer, Donald Trump is increasing his advantage over Kamala Harris in polls conducted by Polymarket
Following a stretch of almost equal chances around mid-August, I’ve noticed a significant shift in the odds for me, Donald Trump, on Polymarket. Currently, about 53% of the bettors are backing my candidacy, while only 47% are favoring Kamala Harris
