Is Trump just using crypto voters? Harris isn’t so innocent either

The article discusses the efforts of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris to appeal to crypto voters in the 2024 U.S. presidential race. Trump has positioned himself as a vocal supporter of crypto and decentralized finance, making policy promises and launching his own crypto project called World Liberty Financial (WLF). However, the project has faced skepticism due to concerns about transparency and the financial benefits for the Trump family. On the other hand, Harris has taken a more measured approach, supporting policies that allow crypto to grow while ensuring adequate regulation. She has also outlined a plan to protect crypto investors, particularly in Black communities. However, her engagement with the crypto community has been criticized for lacking interaction and dialogue. The article highlights the shifting odds of each candidate winning the election based on a popular betting contest on Polymarket, which suggests that Trump currently holds a 60.1% chance of victory compared to Harris' 39.8%. The article concludes by noting that the performance of the crypto market and any last-minute developments could impact the race and the future of crypto policy in the U.S.
