Harris and Trump Odds Shift After The No Crypto Debate Market News
  • The winning odds of Donald Trump fell from 52% to 49%.
  • Trump-based PolitiFi coins witnessed significant losses over the last 24 hours.

U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ winning odds in the upcoming presidential election on crypto-based prediction platform Polymarket rose after the presidential debate on Tuesday in Philadelphia. The former president Donald Trump and Harris are at a tie on Polymarket. 

Bettors on the prediction platform forecast a 94% chance that Harris won yesterday’s debate. However, the official poll results have not been released yet. Harris’ chance of winning the presidential election has likely risen from 46% to 49% on Polymarket. In contrast, Trump’s odds fell from 52% to 49%. 

Trump has been vocal about his support for cryptocurrency, while Harris has recently expressed a desire to understand the crypto sector. However, her stance on it remains unclear. The Biden administration’s approach to regulating digital assets has faced criticism.

On the other hand, Donald Trump has received election donations of around $400 million from key crypto industry players between April and June. This includes crypto billionaires Winklevoss brothers who have donated $2 million worth of BTC to Trump. 

In the recent Tuesday debate, multiple topics were discussed, including immigration, foreign policy, and abortion rights to the war in Ukraine. However, the anticipated topic of cryptocurrency was not addressed.
