Trump-Harris Debate: Polymarket Shows Slim Odds of Crypto Mention

Cryptocurrency may make an appearance in Tuesday night's U.S. presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, according to prediction markets. Shares for "crypto/Bitcoin" on Polymarket's prediction market were trading at 17 cents, indicating a 17% chance that Trump will mention cryptocurrencies. However, topics like "abortion" have a higher likelihood of being mentioned. Trump has actively courted crypto voters and donations, while Harris has a slimmer chance of mentioning crypto. Prediction markets have gained popularity for their forecasting abilities, with Polymarket experiencing a surge in election betting. Another prediction market, Manifold, ranks "bitcoin" among the bottom for likely words to be mentioned in the debate.
