Before the election, crypto bets predicted Robert Prevost as the new Pope of Rome

One of the largest crypto betting platforms before the election of Robert Prevost as Pope of Rome predicted his election to the head of the Catholic Church.

With 100% odds, Robert Francis Prevost was the cardinal who, according to crypto betting, would be elected the new Pope of Rome.

And so it turned out.

Robert Prevost was elected the new Pope after four rounds of voting that began the day before.

A few hours ago, the first smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel and Robert Prevost was elected the new Pope, taking the papal name Leo XIV.

Hundreds of thousands of believers enthusiastically and cheeringly awaited his appearance on the balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square.

Pope Leo XIV's first words were "Peace be with you."/ CNA
