An altercation led to the death of a suspected assailant and a bystander, as reported by the publication. The aftermath saw images and videos of Trump with a bloodstained face circulating on social media, depicting him making a defiant fist-pump gesture.
Following this incident, meme tokens associated with Trump, known as “PoliFi” tokens, experienced a surge in popularity. These tokens, often used for speculating on election outcomes, do not provide actual payouts to holders if their associated candidate wins.
Currently, Biden’s odds of winning the election on Polymarket are at 16%. During a statement in Washington, D.C. last month, Trump emphasized his commitment to ensuring that the future of Bitcoin is developed within the U.S. and not outsourced abroad, and pledged to uphold the right to self-custody.
The Biden administration has claimed to never interfere with law-abiding crypto holders. In the wake of Trump’s narrow escape from a rally in Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed his ear, the price of Bitcoin surged to over $60,000 per unit from earlier lows of $53,000 this month.
At the time of this report, the leading cryptocurrency was trading at $59,970.
