As the election approaches, cryptocurrencies have gained significant attention among politicians. While Kamala Harris made a few minor statements regarding cryptocurrency, Donald Trump placed the topic at the forefront of his campaign agenda. This shift prompted Harris to make more moderate comments about cryptocurrencies.
Election and Cryptocurrencies
Prediction markets indicate a 4-point increase in Kamala Harris’s chances of winning against Donald Trump in the 2024 elections. Just days ago, Trump had a 30-point lead over Harris according to Kalshi. This development coincided with Harris taking the lead in three crucial states: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
Only two weeks ago, Trump was ahead in all states. Current polls show a tight race, with Trump at 48% and Harris at 47%. If millions of cryptocurrency investors, as reported by Coinbase and Ripple 
$0.819476, are among the voters and choose to support Trump motivated by innovation and profit, it could lead to an intriguing election.
There is even a possibility of legal challenges arising from the elections. Past victories for Trump led to accusations against Cambridge Analytica. This time, allegations regarding foreign interference, possibly involving cryptocurrencies from countries like Russia and North Korea, might surface.
