Bitcoin rose above $60,000 after Donald Trump’s defiant response to an assassination attempt spurred speculation that his chances of winning the presidential election have climbed.
The former president, who has positioned himself as pro-crypto, said he was shot in the right ear after gunfire erupted at his political rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. His campaign said he was “fine” after the incident and looking forward to going to the Republican National Convention that begins on Monday in Milwaukee.
