Bitcoin’s Sharp Rise: A Presidential Election Boost?
The value of Bitcoin has skyrocketed past $60,000 after an assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, who is currently running for re-election in the 2024 presidential election. Trump’s chances of winning the election have increased significantly, which has in turn boosted the value of Bitcoin.
Trump at a rally
The Bitcoin price has risen sharply, reaching an all-time high of $60,000 per coin, up from $53,000 earlier this month. This increase in value is largely due to Trump’s increased chances of winning the election, which are currently standing at 70% on the Polymarket prediction platform.
Trump’s popularity in the crypto community has risen significantly in recent months, with many seeing him as a key figure in promoting the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. His promise to protect people’s right to hold Bitcoin and support the right to self-custody has resonated with many in the community.
“I will make sure that the future of Bitcoin will be made in the U.S. and not driven overseas,” Trump stated during a recent event in Washington, D.C.

Trump has also been accepting campaign donations in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu, which has further increased his popularity among crypto enthusiasts.
The Bitcoin price has always been volatile, with many factors influencing its value. However, this recent increase has largely been driven by speculation around the presidential election.
The Bitcoin 2024 Conference
Trump is set to speak at the Bitcoin 2024 conference later this month, which has been billed as a “defining cultural moment for our society.” The conference organizer, David Bailey, has stated that Trump’s involvement is a “recognition of Bitcoin’s adoption and progress towards that original vision.”
With Trump’s popularity in the crypto community and his likely impact on the presidential election, it will be interesting to see how the value of Bitcoin continues to fluctuate in the coming weeks and months.
A Bitcoin Rally
The Bitcoin rally has sent shockwaves through the financial world, with many experts predicting a continued increase in value. However, only time will tell if Trump’s election promises will come to fruition and what impact this will have on the world of cryptocurrency.
