Cloudbet, a prominent crypto sportsbook, has added President Trump’s official $TRUMP token to its list of 40+ supported cryptocurrencies. The platform now offers users the opportunity to bet on Canada’s next prime minister using $TRUMP, a memecoin recently launched by US President-elect Donald J. Trump.
A Cloudbet spokesperson says, “Trump’s inauguration means there’s nothing left to bet on in US politics – for now. But up North? Canada is wide open. You can bet on Pierre Poilievre at 1.20 odds to take over as Prime Minister – with $TRUMP. This is populism at its finest. This, for better or worse, is the world we’re living in, and we’re rolling with it.”
With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepping down earlier this month, the competition for Canada’s leadership is intensifying. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is the clear favorite at 1.20 odds, while Cloudbet also lists other contenders such as Melissa Lantsman (10.0), Chrystia Freeland (40.0), and even Ryan Reynolds (150.0).
“Canada has always been America’s hat, and lately it’s looking a little like a MAGA cap,” said a Cloudbet spokesperson. “Imagine telling someone ten years ago that they could bet on a Canadian election with a memecoin created by the President of the United States, who happens to be Donald Trump, again. I don’t know what that means for the future of North American politics, but the $TRUMP token is crossing borders – ironically, something its namesake is not usually known to support.”
$TRUMP token: A meme for the masses
The $TRUMP token, launched on January 18 as part of Trump’s celebration, has quickly gained attention in the crypto world, reaching a market cap of over $15 billion by early Sunday. Now accepted on Cloudbet, it joins over 40 cryptocurrencies supported by the platform, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other memecoins like DOGE and BRETT.
Aside from Canadian politics, bettors can use $TRUMP:
NFL playoffs and other major sports events.
Esports markets, including League of Legends and CS:GO.
Global political events and much more – including the race to become the next Prime Minister of the UK. Populist favorites include Nigel Farage at 3.50 odds, with $TRUMP available.
