President Joe Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 U.S. presidential election after announcing his decision to end his reelection bid.
However, this endorsement has triggered significant movements in both prediction markets and cryptocurrency spaces.
According to Dexscreener data, Kamala Harris memecoin (KAMA) surged by 110.4% initially but later dropped to an 84% increase. The memecoin is currently trading at $0.01970, with a market cap reflecting a fully diluted valuation of $19 million.
Meanwhile, data from the prediction market website Polymarket shows a 31% chance of Harris securing the Democratic nomination, which is supported by over $20 million in bets. In comparison, other potential nominees trail considerably, with Michelle Obama at 2%, Gavin Newsom at 1%, and Hillary Clinton at 5%. However, Ex-president Donald Trump still holds the top position with 63% odds.
