The dYdX Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of Trump Prediction Market Perpetuals on dYdX, offering traders the unique ability to apply advanced order types on Donald Trump's chances of winning the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

This innovative market was added through a governance process by the dYdX Community on October 9th. It allows users to take trading positions on the U.S. election outcome in a fully decentralized and non-custodial environment, giving them the ability to amplify their positions and gain increased exposure to one of the most highly anticipated political events of the year. Traders bullish on Trump’s chances can take long positions, while those with a bearish outlook can short the market, leveraging their insights on election dynamics for potentially greater returns.

Key Features of the Trump Perpetual Prediction Market:

  • Perpetual Leverage Trading: Users can take advantage of leverage in a perpetual market, allowing them to hold positions without expiration and adjust trades based on changing election dynamics.
  • Advanced Risk Management: The platform supports key risk management tools like stop-loss and take-profit orders, helping traders navigate high-stakes political markets with greater control.
  • Real-Time Settlement: The underlying TRUMPWINYES market on Polymarket is expected to settle to $1 if Trump wins on November 5th and $0.00001 if he does not.
Why Trade Perpetual Prediction Markets?By combining perpetuals with prediction markets, dYdX offers a new way for traders to engage with narrative-driven events, such as the U.S. election. Perpetual markets allow users to hold positions over extended periods, providing flexibility as new developments emerge. The ability to amplify trades with advanced order types provides further opportunity for higher returns, though traders should always consider the associated risks.
