Forget the Trump Polls: Here's What Bitcoin Traders Should really Watch

👇1-14) Markets are bracing for a potential Trump victory, but institutional investors will likely hold off on significant buying until the election outcome is officially confirmed. Betting markets and polls, which have historically underestimated Trump's odds, suggest that a Republican win is almost certain.
