<p>The September 10, 2024, debate for the U.S. presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris surprised many. And for good reason, the complete absence of discussions on crypto. Neither Trump nor Harris mentioned the topic, despite its growing importance in the global economy and its potential impact on future economic policies. This omission, also noted in <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-ignored-crypto-the-trump-biden-debate-avoids-the-hot-topic/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous debates between Trump and Joe Biden</a>, indirectly affected the sentiment of crypto investors.</p>

<p>Crypto remains a major topic for the upcoming U.S. elections, and it is likely that it will be addressed in future debates. Investors and voters are eagerly awaiting to see how the candidates will incorporate this issue into their programs and what policies they will propose to regulate this booming market.</p>

<p>Initially, Donald Trump had a slight lead with a 52% chance of victory compared to 46% for Harris. However, as the debate progressed, Trump’s odds dropped by 3%, reaching 49%, while Kamala Harris’s increased by 3%, placing them in a tie.</p>

<p>This decrease in Donald Trump’s chances for the U.S. presidency is primarily attributed to his performance during the debate. Harris managed to put Trump in a tough spot on several key issues, including immigration, abortion, and foreign policy. These exchanges evidently influenced the bettors on <a href="https://polymarket.com/elections" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Polymarket</a>, who re-evaluated Trump’s chances of success in light of his responses and demeanor in facing Kamala Harris’s questions.</p> 
<p>The absence of discussions on crypto during the Trump-Harris debate on September 10 highlighted the importance of economic policies in the 2024 U.S. presidential race. As a result, Donald Trump, who had previously <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/us-election-trump-outshines-harris-with-his-crypto-plan/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dominated Kamala Harris</a>, now finds himself in a tie on Polymarket. This underscores the uncertainty and growing interest surrounding their respective positions.</p>
