Whale’s Huge Bet Signals Growing Confidence in Trump’s Election Chances
According to data shared by Lookonchain on social media, GCottrell93 recently withdrew another 1 million USDC from the OKX exchange, adding to a total of $8.8 million invested over the past week.
As of Lookonchain’s post, Trump’s probability of victory is now estimated at 67%, a significant 34% lead over Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been speculated as a potential candidate in the 2024 race. This figure marks a notable shift in sentiment among some high-net-worth investors, who see Trump’s chances as increasingly favorable.
Election Result Still a Mystery Despite The Increased Betting
The investment strategy taken by GCottrell93 appears to reflect strong confidence in a Trump victory and demonstrates how crypto whales are actively using stablecoins like USDC to make large-scale political bets.
The competition between Trump and Harris on Polymarket prediction market was very close earlier but now Trump is leading by a great margin. However, this percentage doesn’t guarantee any result and it would be a mystery till the announcement of the original result.
