The upcoming debate between US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on September 10, 2024, is being closely watched by the crypto community. Trump has pledged to support the development of the crypto industry if he wins, a shift from his previous criticism of Bitcoin. Harris, on the other hand, remains relatively quiet on crypto, with her stance on digital assets unclear. The debate could provide insight into Harris' plans for regulating the crypto market. Market participants believe Trump will focus on topics like the US border crisis and fake news, with few expecting him to mention cryptocurrency. Harris is expected to cover inflation, border protection, and women's rights, with few believing she will talk about crypto. As of now, 74% of betters believe Harris will win the debate, but the crypto community seems to hold a different opinion, as reflected by the rise in buying activity of "political" tokens tied to Trump. A successful debate performance by Trump could further increase the value of these assets.
