This week on the forecast market:

Cryptocurrency support has strengthened Trump's chances of winning.

Doug Burgum is still trailing Tim Scott for the GOP vice presidential nomination.

A contract to approve an Ether ETF has yielded triple-digit returns for bettors despite controversy over its execution.

Trump promised to pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht and make the United States a leader in the digital asset industry. This strengthened his position compared to Biden in the forecast market.

On Polymarket's platform, Trump's odds of winning increased by two percentage points to 56%, while Biden's odds dropped two percentage points to 37%.

The market also showed interest in North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as a possible Trump vice presidential candidate.

Despite the bureaucratic technicalities, Polymarket's contract to approve an Ether ETF with more than $13 million invested was still executed, generating significant profits for bettors.
