Harris surpasses Trump: Nervous wait in cryptocurrencies.
On decentralized prediction platform Polymarket, US Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances of winning the upcoming presidential election surpassed Donald Trump’s.
Harris’s chances of winning the November election rose to 50 percent on Polymarket today, while Trump’s chances of being elected remained at 49 percent. This comes after Harris briefly tied with Trump after Tuesday night’s debate, rising to 49 percent. #Trump then regained the lead by 50 percent to 49 percent later on Wednesday. The search for direction in cryptocurrencies continues.
PredictIt’s odds for Harris’ victory are now at 56 cents, compared to 53 cents on Monday, while Trump’s chances of winning have fallen to 47 cents. Polymarket odds are consistent with data from select US election polls on the debate’s performance.
Some early polls have shown Harris winning the presidential debate. A YouGov poll of more than 2,000 registered voters found that 54 percent thought Harris won, while 31 percent supported Trump. In a CNN/SSRS poll, debate viewers said Harris performed better on stage, 63 percent to 37 percent.
Cryptocurrencies have yet to see a direction. #Bitcoin , which is trading around $58,000, would ease the market if it settled above $60,000. Closing below $56,500 could deepen the decline. Crypto investors are following this process with interest.
