<p style="text-align: justify">The decentralized blockchain platform Polymarket achieved a significant milestone by reaching a monthly trading volume of $100 million in June, driven largely by user predictions on the upcoming United States presidential elections. The total value of transactions related to these predictions stands at $203.3 million. Former President Donald Trump is currently leading the predictions with a 62% probability of winning the election.</p>
<h2 id="shifting-odds-for-biden">Shifting Odds for Biden</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">Current President Joe Biden finds himself in second place, with predictions valuing his chances of re-election at $23.9 million. However, Biden’s odds have declined from 34% to 21% following the Presidential Debate on June 28. Speculation about Biden potentially withdrawing from the race has increased the chances for other Democratic candidates such as Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Michelle Obama.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Other prediction markets have also seen significant activity, with millions of dollars in transactions. Predictions about Biden withdrawing from the race are at 43%, with an additional 9% predicting his exit on July 4, accumulating over $10 million in trades. Despite the hype, predictions for American rapper Kanye West and crypto-critic Elizabeth Warren to win the presidency remain below 1%.</p>
