The US will get a new President Donald Trump as his Polymarket winning odds soar to 99%

According to data from the decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket, the winning odds are significantly in favor of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The former president of the United States of America saw his chances of winning the election climb to 99%, leaving his Democratic rival Kamala Harris with a meager 1%.

Battle for Pro-crypto President in America

The new data reflects a huge jump from 58%, where the odds stood as of 7 PM on Tuesday. AP News says Trump is leading in the vote count as he has already secured 267 electoral votes against Harris as of writing. The DNC candidate has only 224 in the race to reach 270 votes.

“This Presidential market resolves when the Associated Press, Fox, and NBC all call the election for the same candidate. In the unlikely event that doesn’t happen, the market will remain open until inauguration and resolve to whoever gets inaugurated,” Polymarket stated.

Should Trump win, the crypto landscape in the US may pivot. Before now, the 78-year-old politician expressed his skepticism towards the crypto ecosystem. Suddenly, he became a top industry proponent, calling himself the “Crypto President”. Donald Trump endorsed several aspects of the crypto industry as part of his campaign strategy.

Harris also kicked off a crypto campaign as the competition got tougher, voicing her intention to support blockchain and its related offerings. However, Trump is considered a more positive candidate for the future of the crypto industry in America.

The bullish sentiment seen in the crypto market as Trump’s odds increased is a clear indication.
