Bitcoin surged in early Asian trading, hitting a high of $69,519, before falling slightly to $68,800 in midday trading.
Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose chances of winning the November election have soared to over 60%, said a victory in November would significantly lower U.S. interest rates.
It is worth noting that Trump participated in a "one-day McDonald's employee experience" in Pennsylvania on Sunday and accused Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris of fabricating her experience working at McDonald's. Since working at McDonald's has a special meaning in the cryptocurrency circle, Trump's move also sparked discussions in the Web3 community.
According to data from Polymarket, a large cryptocurrency betting platform, Trump's chances of winning in November rose again, reaching a new high of 60.7%, far exceeding Harris's 39.1%.
