Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s chances of winning the 2024 election have <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1728279663002" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">climbed</a> to 50.6% on Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, overtaking Vice President Kamala Harris, who holds 48.4%. The platform, where users can place real-money bets on future events, has seen stakes on Trump and Harris fluctuate since July when current President Joe Biden withdrew from the race.
Throughout September, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/harris-and-trump-now-tied-on-polymarket-after-heated-debate/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Harris maintained a slight edge over Trump</a> in Polymarket predictions, but in recent weeks, his odds have surged. However, Polymarket’s figures deviate from national <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">polls</a> by The New York Times, where Harris leads by 49%, and Trump follows closely at 47%.

Adding to the election’s unpredictability, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently <a href="https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-donald-trump-rally-butler-election-f718967ec29431a2b9858b1121e70da1#" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">made</a> his stance clear, attending Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Musk, sporting a “Make America Great Again” cap, declared Trump as the only candidate who could “preserve democracy in America,” according to an AP News report. Musk also <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1843132050242777187?s=46&amp;t=yoL7WJcO9vZ3TjSE2j6FRQ" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noted</a> on X that Polymarket predictions may be more reliable than traditional polls, as “actual money is on the line.”
Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, held significant symbolism, as it was the location where he survived an assassination attempt earlier in the campaign. <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/elon-musk-believes-donald-trump-can-save-the-us-from-looming-debt-crisis/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Musk’s endorsement further fueled discussions around Trump’s rising odds</a> and his appeal among prominent figures in the tech industry.

As the 2024 presidential race heats up, cryptocurrency has emerged as a pivotal issue. Trump has been vocal in his support for crypto, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized finance (DeFi) throughout his campaign. In contrast, Kamala Harris only recently addressed the subject, stating she intends to promote growth in the digital asset space. However, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, warned that Harris brings “more uncertainty for crypto” despite her late entry into the discussion.
The U.S. presidential election is set for November 5, 2024, with the cryptocurrency world keeping a close eye on which candidate will shape the future of digital finance in America.
