Harris Takes the Lead in Presidential Predictions as Musk and Trump Prepare to Talk Today
Vice President Kamala Harris is gaining momentum, now leading Donald Trump in the latest prediction markets for the upcoming U.S. presidential election. With Harris now holding a 52% chance of winning, up from Trumpโs 46%, the race is heating up. This marks a significant shift from mid-July when Trump was the frontrunner with a 70% chance.
The surge in support for Harris coincides with strategic moves in the crypto space. A new initiative, Crypto4Harris, is organizing a town hall event featuring key industry figures like Sheila Warren and Mark Cuban. The goal? To rally the crypto community behind Harris and advocate for policies that position the U.S. as a leader in digital assets.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump remains vocal about his pro-crypto stance, emphasizing the importance of the U.S. retaining its cryptocurrency assets. Heโs set to discuss these views in a live conversation with Elon Musk tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on X.
In related news, the Winklevoss twins and Coinbase are pushing back against a CFTC proposal that could restrict access to prediction markets. They argue that the proposed rules are too vague and could effectively ban event contracts in the U.S., potentially stifling platforms like Polymarket.
With the U.S. election and crypto policy at the forefront, this weekโs developments could have far-reaching implications for both the political and crypto landscapes.
