The Wall Street Journal has raised concerns about a surge in former President Donald Trump's rates on the cryptocurrency prediction platform Polymarket, suggesting that the rise may have been artificially inflated. The spike in Trump's chances of winning the November election has led to speculation that four Polymarket accounts, collectively placing around $30 million worth of cryptocurrency bets, may be controlled by the same entity. Some believe this could be a well-funded individual or group attempting to influence the election, while others think it may be a high-stakes player seeking a large payout. Polymarket is investigating the matter and has hired outside experts to assist with the investigation. Despite the allegations, Polymarket currently gives Trump a 60% chance of winning, maintaining a significant lead over Vice President Kamala Harris.
