Sailor's Bitcoin poll shows strong support for Trump, with him leading with 91% of the 61,238 votes.
CoinShares reports $407 million in inflows into digital assets amid a potential Republican victory.
There's only one week left until the high-profile 2024 presidential election, and the battle between the two leading candidates is getting increasingly heated. Needless to say, this year's election will be all about cryptocurrencies. This has led to increased attention from key figures in the crypto industry.
Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, posed the key question, Who will favor #bitcoin [BTC], Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?.
In his recent post, Mr. X Saylor created a poll,
as of October 27, with 18 hours to go, Trump is leading with 91% of the 61,238 votes cast. Moreover, poll comments indicate that Trump favors Harris.
What's behind Sailor's new political move?
Sailor's recent comments have sparked a lot of speculation in the crypto community. For those not in the know, he recently urged bitcoin holders to put their trust in large financial institutions, arguing that they are better suited to manage large #BTC assets.
However, he quickly changed his stance, stating that both individuals and institutions should have full autonomy in making decisions about the storage and management of BTC.
This change led to speculation that his reputation could suffer. As such, some see the poll as an attempt by Sailor to rehabilitate his image as an unwavering bitcoin supporter. In the midst of a political race, Polymarket trends show Donald Trump leading with 66.3% of the vote, with Kamala Harris trailing with 33.8%.
Despite this wide gap in Polymarket's projections, the results of polls across the country are much closer. According to the New York Times and CNN, Harris and Trump were in a close race. The former received 48% of the vote, while the latter received 47%.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, is not lagging behind.
