As BTC price Keeps Falling, Kamala takes Gains on Polymarket

As BTC price Keeps Falling, Kamala takes Gains on Polymarket

Vice President Kamala Harris’s odds for winning the US presidential election scheduled for November 5th, 2024, were very low just a few weeks ago. However, according to recent polls, her chances stand at 39%. How has there been a sudden such increase in Harris’s odds? 

This sudden turn of events can be attributed to the traders on the polymarket , with whales jumping in quickly to place substantial betting activity. Her gaining odds on Polymarket has aligned with the fall of Bitcoin price after a recent monumental surge till $73K.

Trump’s supporters sprang on these reports to cover their positions. They were likely to have been finding irregularities in the swing state votes that led to their previous losses in betting markets. This reason could very well account for the traders’ sentiments about finally deciding to enter the bet markets.

According to several reports on Polymarket, there has been a significant volume of transactions within the Kamala Harris “Yes” position. Some of the bets made by these traders have been over $10,000, placing considerable risk on the transactions in the hopes of having guaranteed protection against losses made when betting on Trump. 

Harris winning current betting returns appears inviting, with winnings on the player betting returning 150% on their stake with sizable returns of $25,000 possible.

The rise in the levels of betting is indicative of the general turbulence as to who will win the election. It seems traders are adopting complex methods aiming at shielding their positions from all eventualities, last minute changes in the political environment included. 

The jump in Harris’s odds suggests that the market players are indeed considering the possibilities of changes in the election outcomes as a result of unforeseeable conditions.

With the impending election, it is the same scenario in these betting markets and there is a clear culture of traders having an interest in the outcome and exposure but also risk mitigation strategies. The large sways of Harris’s odds suggest the volatility in the betting markets on the election and the capacity of the markets to respond to new political changes.
