Claim $500Kamala Harris Beats Donald Trump On Prediction Market Ahead Crypto Meet
Highlights
- Kamala Harris's election win odds have surged past 49%.
- She has taken a small lead against Donald Trump.
- This comes at a backdrop of her campaign's efforts toward a complete crypto reset.
In a remarkable turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris has overtaken former President Donald Trump in prediction markets. This reflects a surge in the VP’s campaign’s momentum. The surge comes after talks of a crypto reset and some meetings scheduled. However, as Harris’ win odds surge, the crypto industry might lose out on the ambitious plans that Trump suggested.
Kamala Harris Vs Donald Trump
While Kamala Harris and Donald Trump look tied on Polymarket, the former has taken a small lead. According to the latest data, Harris’ election odds are now at 49.2%, while Trump lags slightly behind at 49%. This shift follows a period where Trump had a commanding lead, having previously reached a high of 71% win odds on Polymarket.
The Harris campaign’s recent efforts to engage the crypto community appear to be a significant factor in this turnaround. On Tuesday, August 6, the Democrats launched the Crypto4Harris Group. It is an initiative aimed at organizing, fundraising, and developing a nuanced crypto-policy approach for Harris’s presidential bid.
Moreover, the group will hold its first town hall meeting next week. This meeting will see notable figures like billionaire Mark Cuban and former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci. The move to court crypto enthusiasts is seen as a strategic effort to counter Trump’s influence in the sector. Moreover, it aims to build Harris image within the crypto industry ahead of the November elections.

Crypto Reset Strategy
Such initiatives is part of a broader strategy by pro-crypto Democrats to reset Kamala Harris’ relationship with the industry and establish a fresh start. In addition, California Congressman Ro Khanna is also scheduled to host a pivotal roundtable in Washington. This roundtable is set to feature crypto industry leaders and renowned political figures.
It aims to discuss the future of crypto policy. Moreover, Harris campaign representatives and other Democrats are expected to join. Furthermore, Mark Cuban’s endorsement of Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has generated significant attention. Cuban, who has been an outspoken advocate for cryptocurrency, will be speaking at the upcoming Crypto4Harris town hall meeting.
His participation underscores the growing influence of the crypto community in the political arena. However, Harris’ attempt to pivot her stance on crypto has not been without controversy. Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty recently criticized her new strategy.
He suggested it was a ‘desperate’ attempt to mimic Trump’s success at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville. Hagerty’s comments reflect a broader skepticism among some Republicans about Harris’s commitment to a pro-crypto approach.
Despite these criticisms, the Harris campaign’s crypto outreach has potential benefits. If Harris follows through on her promise of a pro-crypto policy, it could signal a limited crackdown on the industry. However, the some of Donald Trump’s ambitious plans on crypto may never see the light of the day.
Trump has announced his intention to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This proposal could gain traction with the support of Senator Cynthia Lummis’ bill. Furthermore, it is deemed one of the most bullish moves for the industry. On the flip side, Harris hasn’t announced similar plans as of yet.
