US Elections are just a month away, but the speculations around ‘America’s 47th President’ continues as the latest data from prediction market platform Polymarket suggests that both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’ chances of winning are tied at 50%.
Trump’s winning chances have gone up by 0.4% at 50%, and Harris’ odds have gone down by 0.1% at 50%.
Notably, the fresh betting trends come hot on the heels of a recent Consensys and Harrisx study that found that nearly half of U.S. voters support pro-crypto policies and are willing to cross party lines for pro-crypto candidates. This trend has fueled the growth of crypto political betting sites as users speculate on elections tied to cryptocurrency policies. The study disclosed that 85% of respondents want presidential candidates to take a pro-crypto stance, indicating significant voter interest in the issue.
Our previous report on September 24, stated that Vice President Kamala Harris was leading with 50%, with a slight dip of 0.7%, while Donald Trump was close behind with 48%, gaining 1%. However, since then, bettors have come to short (yet fleeting) conclusions of both candidates making it to the White House.
Usually, any comment or overtures on crypto from either of the candidates, manages to sweep the sentiment of Polymarket bettors. However, the past week has not witnessed much of this trend.
Harris, nevertheless, did declare a pro-crypto stance in one of the events, which helped her gain some brownie points, and increased her chances of winning last week.
Trump, on the other hand, avoided his atypical crypto tactics, but still managed to gain an edge over Harris, in the latest figures.
