This is what an English 🏴 Web3 VC investor thinks will happen in the US election tomorrow.
The main driver behind the prediction is historical polling bias that seemingly favours Democrats and have done so for the last 2 GEs.
I breakdown why I'm predicting this map below 🧵

RWA market cap on Avalanche is up nearly 12% over the past 30 days. Distributed RWA market cap is up 22%+.
This is just the beginning.
The ~$20T asset-based finance (ABF) market is one of the biggest opportunities to bring real-world credit onchain.
This week, we’ve been in a number of conversations with traditional private credit managers and allocators who are increasingly interested in deploying capital into ABF opportunities that are originated, verified, administered, and distributed onchain.
Many of these allocate anywhere from $200M to billions of dollars across private credit, structured finance, and ABF strategies.
For all the crypto-native users and liquidity in the market today, traditional capital allocator AUM is orders of magnitude larger.
That is the user base @avax is competing for.
And we’re building the ecosystem to make it possible: originators, credit infrastructure platforms, fiat-to-stablecoin rails, legal enforceability, asset verification, servicing, administration, and distribution — all designed to make Avalanche the infrastructure layer for institutional capital.

If I get this wrong we can all have a good laugh about how VCs have delusions of grandeur.
If I get this right, I can use it to convince the partners that I know something about markets and maybe they'll let me invest into the next hot memecoin🥳
