Following the incident, Trump's chances of winning the US presidential election also improved. According to data from Polymarket, the contract on whether Trump will win the election rose from $0.60 to $0.70 a share, indicating a 71 percent chance of winning in November.

At the beginning of this year, Trump's stance on crypto shifted from skepticism to support, recognizing the need for regulation in the space. This acceptance reflects the group's growing openness to its crypto donation campaign, which began accepting donations in various cryptocurrencies through Coinbase in May.

Trump has promised to prevent the creation of a central bank digital currency in the United States, which he sees as a threat to freedom, and he has promised to protect Bitcoin from critics such as Senator Elizabeth Warren and excessive regulatory measures.
