Bitcoin price nears $63 thousand
The price of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin rose above $62,000 amid expectations that former US President Donald Trump is more likely to win the presidential race following an assassination attempt on his life.
According to data from analysis company Coinmarketcap, the value of the global cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin, increased by 4.1 percent in 24 hours to 2 trillion 300 billion dollars.
Analysts state that the increase in the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is due to the expectation that Trump, who made positive comments about cryptocurrencies, is more likely to win the presidential race after the assassination attempt.
Former US President Trump, who was running for the presidency from the Republican Party, was attacked with a gun while addressing his supporters from the podium at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump, who was wounded in his right ear, was reported to be in good health.
As of 9:30 a.m., Bitcoin, which has experienced an increase of nearly 4.6 percent in its price in the last 24 hours, rose to 62 thousand 922 dollars.
Ethereum, which ranks second in terms of market capitalization, also gained 4.7 percent in the last 24 hours and rose to 3 thousand 353 dollars.
