Trump Headed for Victory

With Donald Trump leading the U.S. elections with 230 seats compared to Kamala Harris’ 187 seats, the Republican Party is inching closer to victory. Currently, at press time, Trump has 51.7% of voters in his support, increasing his chances of becoming the next U.S. president.

Over the Polymarket, the chances of Donald Trump becoming the next U.S. president have increased significantly and reached 94.6%. The betting volume is inching closer to $1.5 billion, while Kamala Harris’ chances have dropped nearly 5%.

Amid such increased bullish influence, Bitcoin dominance is inching closer to 60%. Meanwhile, the altcoins have registered nearly double-digit gains. Among the top performers, Solana has increased by nearly 17% to flip Binance and become the fourth-biggest cryptocurrency.

BTC Price Analysis
