Bitcoin and PoliFi tokens TRUMP, TREMP and BODEN suffered losses ahead of Thursday's presidential debate. Crypto traders will be watching the debate closely as Trump makes digital assets a vital issue in his presidential campaign.

At 04:56 UTC, TRUMP, the first major token in the PoliFi sector, traded around $8.5, down 0.5%. Its Solana-based counterpart TREMP was trading 7.2% lower, at 74 cents, while the Joe Biden-themed BODEN coin was 16% lower, at 13 cents.

The crypto industry has lobbied to ensure digital assets are discussed in the televised presidential face-off, and potential comments from the two candidates could inject volatility into the market.

Crypto traders will be watching the debate closely as Trump has made digital assets a vital issue in his presidential campaign by influencing industry leaders and recently emphasizing the need to mine all remaining bitcoins in the United States.

Meanwhile, Biden has remained mum, asking federal agencies to investigate risks and opportunities, including the potential launch of a Fed-run central bank digital currency.

So, there seems to be a general consensus among the crypto community: Trump's victory would be positive for the industry. So what do you think? We are waiting your comments! 😄👇🚀📈💰
