Bitcoin hit a two-week high Monday, as betting markets suggested an increased chance of victory for crypto-friendly candidate Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election. The value of the world's biggest cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was up around 5% at 1:40 p.m. London time, to $62,781.48, according to CoinGecko. The rally follows the dramatic failed assassination attempt on former President Trump on Saturday. Investors said over the weekend they expected so-called "Trump victory trades" to receive a boost. The Trump campaign began accepting donations from the crypto industry in May and his messaging has become increasingly positive on the future of such digital assets.

Former US President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event in Waco, Texas, US, on Saturday, March 25, 2023. Most Americans also think the probes of Trump — which are ongoing at the local, state and federal levels — are fair, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Monday. Asked in the new poll about the investigations into Trump, 46% of national adults replied that they think he has done something illegal. That leaves just 23% of Americans who said they think Trump has done nothing wrong. The survey showed 39% of respondents viewing Trump favorably, versus 51% who had an unfavorable impression of him.
