Harris has been outperforming Trump in several polls, including those on the cryptocurrency prediction platform Polymarket, and Bitcoin<\/a> <\/strong>has been showing weakness. Bernstein analysts suggest this link may not be purely coincidental.<\/p>\n

Since Harris was nominated on August 4, Bitcoin has dropped by 3%, falling below $50,000 amidst a broader market downturn triggered by the yen carry trade unwinding. The cryptocurrency has yet to recover its peak of $73,700 from March.<\/p>\n
