Trump’s Odds and Bitcoin Drop Amid Election News
Donald Trump, once associated with Bitcoin and nicknamed the ‘Bitcoin candidate,’ saw his odds of winning the election peak at 72% on July 16. This surge in his odds coincided with Bitcoin’s rally, which reached $70,000 by July 29 during the Bitcoin Nashville conference. However, both Trump’s odds and Bitcoin’s price have since declined, and the correlation between the two has weakened. Trump is also trailing behind on non-crypto betting sites and prediction markets.
In related news, Elon Musk has announced a live interview with Donald Trump on X (formerly Twitter) at 8 P.M. ET on August 12. This development is expected to increase attention on the candidates as the election approaches.
