Trump’s Presidential Odds and Cryptocurrency Views
According to Polymarkets, a decentralized prediction market platform, Trump has a 62% chance of winning the 2024 presidential elections, while current U.S. President Joe Biden’s chances have dropped to 7% after he tested positive for COVID-19. Vice President Kamala Harris has a 22% chance of becoming president.
Trump has garnered support from the digital asset sector after asserting that a vote for him is a vote for cryptocurrencies. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, he said, “If I throw it aside, it’s going to be picked up in another country, most likely China – they’re pretty advanced in that sphere. So you have to look at it – what I want, again, is what is good for the country.” Billionaire Mark Cuban also supported Trump and predicted a thriving digital asset sector under his leadership. Furthermore, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, the founders of a16z, declared their support for the former U.S. president.
