October 21, 2024 Coin Telegraph

2024 election

The most recent Polymarket odds put Trump's chances of winning the 2024 Presidential election at 60.3% and winning all six swing states.

Former President Trump's 20-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris on Polymarket has sparked manipulation concerns. Tarek Mansour — the founder of the Kalshi prediction market — recently argued that these results were accurate and not the result of inorganic manipulation by presenting comparable data from Kalshi.

Mansour began by dispelling the media claim that a handful of large whales are skewing the odds in favor of Trump. According to the Kalshi founder, "The median bet size on Harris is larger than the median bet size on Donald Trump," with the median bet size for Harris coming in at $85 compared to Trump's $58.

The founder also explained that more individuals on the Kalshi platform are placing bets on Trump, and the 20-point lead reflected on Polymarket roughly tracks with the number of individuals betting Trump will win the November election on Kalshi.

October 15, 2024 Coin Telegraph

biden crypto policy

Harris takes a softer stance than Biden on crypto regulation but is more skeptical than Trump on taxes, Bitcoin mining and self-custody, according to Galaxy Research.

United States presidential candidate Kamala Harris is friendlier toward cryptocurrency than her boss, President Joe Biden, but not nearly as pro-industry as rival Donald Trump, Galaxy Research said on Oct. 14.

Harris promises to meaningfully improve the regulatory environment for US crypto firms, but she holds unfavorable positions on other relevant issues, such as taxes, Bitcoin (BTC) mining and self-custody, according to a post by Alex Thorn, Galaxy’s research head, on the X platform.

“While trump is undoubtedly more favorable for the industry, we’re optimistic that harris could be more supportive than biden has been,” Thorn said.
