During last night’s debate, Harris appeared to outperform Trump based on prediction markets like Polymarket. Her odds of winning the debate according to polls stood at 94%. Despite this, the candidates remain tied in the overall presidential race. The debate didn't address crypto or tech, with discussions focused on the economy, tariffs, and trade deficits. Bettors profited from various predictions, including the unexpected handshake between the candidates. Bitcoin price was up before the debate but dipped afterward, with analysts noting it behaved like other risk assets. Meanwhile, PolitiFi coins related to both candidates dumped after the debate.
