(Archive.is link for a WSJ article). So it looks like those betting markets have been moved entirely by four bettors. Opinions seem to be divided about whether it's because they're really all-in, or are trying to manipulate opinion (since both would involve the same course of action).

When we saw the big upswing on Kamala last month was it also a small group of bettors moving the market?
Both moves seem highly suspect to me. It's a crypto market. If crypto whales are good at anything it is manipulating markets to make rubes out of retail traders.

I don't know the answer to the first, but it wouldn't surprise me. And yeah, any market that can be manipulated by whales is not one I'd trust for accurate predictions.

Wasn't it that those 4 "individuals" all connected? Like it's one person, 4 accounts. I thought someone tracked the funds but I may be mistaken.
