  • Former President Donald Trump currently boasts a significant lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the polls.
  • However, the bet has raised concerns of manipulation.
  • Harris may be struggling to engage a key demographic that could play a pivotal role in the upcoming election.

Polygon-based prediction market PolyMarket rose to prominence during the 2024 US election cycle, claiming that it was more reliable than opinion polls. However, the platform is not perfect.

The platform’s recent odds strongly suggested that former President Donald Trump has a better chance of beating Vice President Kamala Harris in November 2024. But Trump’s recent bets on the lead have raised questions about potential manipulation.

Are Polymarket’s US Election Odds Compromised?

Former President Donald Trump currently boasts a significant lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the polls. According to the platform’s data at the time of writing, Trump’s probability of winning the election is 59.9%, and Harris’s probability of winning is 40.1%, representing a whopping 19.9% ​​lead.

Polymarket’s odds tell a very different story than traditional polls. In context, five thirty eightIn national polls, Harris leads Trump with 48.5% compared to 46%.

Unsurprisingly, Polymarket’s recent significant departure from traditional polls has attracted considerable attention and prompted observers to take a closer look at the data.

Data shows that a single company is buying all of the Trump-related bets. @Poly Market A total of $26 million.

One such observer, prominent cryptocurrency analyst “Fozzy,” recently discovered that a single entity had amassed a total of $26 million worth of Trump bets on Polymarket through four different accounts.

"The betting pattern of each account is very similar and when one account stops another picks up. There is very little overlap within each account suggesting they are all the same entity," the analyst wrote, adding, "Not to mention the deposits are very similar. All flow comes from Kraken in the form of 500k or 1m deposits."

The findings sparked speculation about whether Trump supporters were trying to distort the odds or Harris supporters were trying to hedge their bets.

The motivation for these bets is anyone’s guess, but recent polls suggest Harris may be struggling to engage a key demographic that could play a pivotal role in the upcoming election, and it comes at a time when a tight race is expected .

Black people leaning on Trump?

per recent new york times About 20% of black men plan to vote for Trump over Harris, and another 10% plan not to vote at all, according to a Siena national poll. In an effort to reach this group of voters, the vice president recently announced an economic plan for black men that features heavy use of cryptocurrency and marijuana.

In particular, Harris claimed that she would support a cryptocurrency regulatory framework that protects investors. At the same time, she pledged to legalize marijuana at the federal level.

On the flip side

  • The motivation for a single company to invest $26 million in Trump is not yet known.
  • Harris led Trump in the polls for most of September 2024.

Why This Matters

With Polymarket’s newfound popularity, the platform’s data now helps shape public opinion. Nonetheless, recent findings from the U.S. 2024 election market highlight that, like traditional opinion polls, the platforms are not infallible.
