Cryptocurrencies a Key Issue in Upcoming U.S. Election
In the upcoming U.S. election, cryptocurrencies have become a prominent agenda item. It is speculated that the candidate with the more proactive stance towards crypto will gain an advantage in the 2024 race.
Data from Polymarket.com indicates that former president and leading candidate, Donald Trump, has a 51% chance of winning, with Kamala Harris following closely at 48.3%. The total number of bets placed on the presidential election has reached $1.35 billion, with Trump topping the list with $330 million and Harris receiving $264 million.
Market pundits suggest that among the frontrunners, Trump holds significant cryptocurrency assets. This was confirmed in a recent post where he announced his candidacy for 2024.
Harris retains a strong base in California, New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon, New York, Virginia, and Maine, while Trump has support in Texas, Montana, Florida, Alaska, South Carolina, and Utah.
In a July speech, Trump expressed his desire for the U.S. to become the "crypto capital of the planet" and the global "Bitcoin superpower."
According to OpenSecrets.org, the Top Spending Candidate Committees for 2024 are led by Kamala Harris with $435,620,329, followed by Trump at $171,427,936.
