On the Polymarket platform, where users bet on future events, Trump's chances for the 2024 victory climbed to 50.6%, overtaking opponent Kamala Harris.

Rising Odds for Donald Trump

Throughout September, Kamala Harris maintained a slight edge over Trump in Polymarket predictions. However, recently his odds surged significantly. Nevertheless, these figures deviate from national polls by The New York Times, where Harris leads with 49% against Trump's 47%.

Support from Elon Musk

Adding to the election's unpredictability, support for Trump came from Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla. Musk attended Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and declared him as the only candidate who could 'preserve democracy in America.' Musk also noted that Polymarket predictions may be more reliable than traditional polls as 'real money is on the line.'

Crypto: A Key Election Topic

As the 2024 presidential race heats up, cryptocurrency has emerged as one of the pivotal issues. Trump has been vocal in his support for cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and DeFi throughout his campaign. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris recently addressed her intentions to promote growth in digital assets, with some experts warning that her approach may bring more uncertainty for cryptocurrencies.

The upcoming U.S. presidential election, set for November 5, 2024, attracts the attention of the cryptocurrency world, especially concerning which candidate will shape the future of digital finance in the country.
